2010 Fibre Art Awards

The 2010 Fibre Art Awards were made earlier in the year in Nelson as part of Changing Threads 2010 - an exhibition of contemporary fibre and textile art.


Presented by Arts Council Nelson, the aim of the exhibition is to showcase the use of fibre and textiles in a challenging and more conceptual way from their more general usage.
Here are the four major winners in this year's awards.
