Here at the library, we get a lot of great art magazines, and we get a lot of great craft magazines.  We also get a few magazines at the intersection of arts and crafts.  Fiberarts will not teach you five easy afghans to knit.  In fact, for most of us the textile arts in Fiberarts are way out of reach - it's all extremely technically extraordinary, and some of it is downright weird.  It's a magazine about arts people make out of textiles and other fibers, and the creativity and skill on display is absolutely mindblowing. 

For a magazine that seems so specialized, there's a surprising amount of variety in the articles.  Several artists are profiled in each issue - the current one has a lady who makes clothes out of cedar bark, somebody who creates elaborate dioramas inspired by colonial styles, and an artist who makes felt purses that explore associations of felt with the concept of protection.  There are also some more concrete articles - there's a really good one on cleaning vintage clothing that I found very helpful.  Each issue also includes a lot of book and museum exhibit reviews.

If you're interested in what kind of art creative people can make out of textiles, you should definitely take a look at Fiberarts.  It's a fascinating look at a part of the art world you might not find in a traditional art periodical, and I promise you'll find something you like and something you hate in each issue.
