Terry Wolfson-Tighe is the Gallery Director at Ahlum Gallery, 106 N 4th St. She creates intricate works of art that look like prints, but they are made of little pieces of fabric held together with glue. She told me she uses a pair of tweezers to put the fabric in place. Ahlum Gallery is open on Fridays and Saturdays.

"I started working here about a year ago and showing my own work. I do have a studio at home, so I didn't need a place to make my art; I needed a place to showcase my art, and I do showcase other artists at the same time. So, right now I have ceramics in here and some watercolors. And the owner of the gallery shows her own work here, too. I'm originally from New York and I lived in New Jersey and I've been doing art since college--it's been about 40 years! I started doing the fabrics about 37 years ago when I couldn't paint anymore because I was a painter originally. I started doing fabrics because they told me not to paint while I was pregnant, and I started dabbling in the fabric and I kind of took it to another level. I'm very influenced by painters and by quilters. I love the fact that quilting uses lots of little pieces, but they're all sewn, and I was really trained to paint, so I took the two things and molded it together and made my own thing."
