Fiber arts are fine art forms that use natural or synthetic materials—such as fabric, yarn, paper, or thread—to create aesthetic pieces, using artistic expression as much as utility. Popular techniques include knitting, quilting, embroidery, crochet, macramé, and felted sculpture.
Key Techniques:
Embroidery: Decorating fabric using needles and thread, including hand and machine methods.
Knitting & Crochet: Interlocking loops of yarn to create garments or sculptures.
Felting: Compressing and matting fibers together.
Macramé: Creating textiles through intricate knotting

About the branch
The Alford Branch Library is located in south Wichita near I-235 and Meridian. The building is named for Lionel D. Alford (1925-2000), a retired senior vice president at Boeing who is credited for starting the Kansas Food Bank and known as an advocate for Wichita Public Schools.
