Spirit of Place: An Exhibition by Studio 10 Artists

Studio 10 Artists is an Arlington-based art collaborative comprising five artists whose work has been shown regionally, nationally and internationally. This creative collaboration features painters Elizabeth Hudgins, Kathleen Jamieson, Linda Maldonado, Elise Ritter, and Deborah Taylor. Using the theme as an inspirational prompt, each painter selected an aspect of a physical or imagined place with particular meaning to them. Each offers a unique sense of these chosen spaces and invites others to contemplate special places of their own.

The Mather Fibre Arts Group

brings together residents who share a passion for textile crafts such as knitting, crocheting, quilting, embroidery, weaving, and more. 

Open to all skill levels, the group offers a warm, informal environment where members can work on personal projects, learn new techniques, and enjoy the camaraderie of crafting together.

In addition to individual projects, the group participates in optional collaborative efforts, such as Mather Hugs—a heartfelt initiative where members create knitted or crocheted squares that are combined into afghan blankets. These blankets are then distributed within The Mather community to residents in need of a comforting gesture—a “hug” in handmade form. Members are welcome to contribute squares at any time, with the collective effort continuing throughout the year.

The Fibre Arts Group is more than just a crafting circle—it's a creative and supportive community. Participants exchange ideas, offer guidance, and encourage one another, whether they bring decades of experience or are just beginning their fibre arts journey. This showcase features a diverse collection of works created by members of the Mather Fibre Arts Group, each piece reflecting their unique interests, skills, and artistic expression. From delicate embroidery to bold quilts, intricate weaves to cozy knits, fibre runs through every creation—connecting not only materials, but the makers themselves. This exhibit is a vibrant testament to the creativity, craftsmanship, and community that defines the group.
