PORT TOWNSEND — There’s a farm theme to the new display at 675 Tyler St., Port Townsend, in the walk-by exhibit of the North Olympic Chapter of the Surface Design Association.
Created by eight regional textile artists, the pieces will be on view through July, when they move to “Farm. Fresh. Art” at Mead Werks, the Wilderbee Farm meadery, 223 Cook Ave., Port Townsend.
Sequim artist Liisa Fagerlund joins Port Angeles’ Evette Allerdings and Barbara Houshmond, Port Ludlow’s Jeri Auty and Port Townsend artists Leslie Dickinson, Sue Gale, Debra Olson and Barbara Ramsey in the exhibit.
