%X Today, fibrous materials, industrial or manmade, made from textile and its raw material which have met basic human needs for thousands of years, provide many artists with creative production opportunities in an artistic sense. Thanks to different cultures' reflections in the world, textile appeal to artists' search for a wide range of techniques and methods. With weaving, knitting, and felting or practices whereby natural and artificial fibers are collectively used, textile production tradition exists as a discipline that draw global cultures together. Works which include fiber arts are being curiously viewed in many artistic activities such as art galleries, biennials, and art fairs. Because textile manufacturing styles are closely associated with ˇ°womanˇ±, it has taken a very long time for it to be valued in the artistic milieu. But in recent years, the number of artists who have started to use textile as a tool has increased, especially in Europe. The purpose of this paper is to indicate that artist suffering from ˇ°plasticˇ± concern can render artistic production with different techniques and materials.
