The Textile Arts and Artisan Show was the brainchild of Julia Kerner, who chaired the first Show in 2017. The show is held every other year, alternating with Stitchery Showcase, running concurrently with Ohio Mart. It is a special event that showcases “all things textile.”

Area groups and guilds are invited to demonstrate and display their skills and techniques. Past techniques have included weaving, spinning, knitting, lace making, quilting, needle punching, cross stitching, needlepointing, beading, displays of vintage lace, wool sorting and carding, textile conservation, and more! Our number of attendees continues to grow with each show.
