Ferne Jacobs began as a painter, exploring the possibilities of three-dimensional painting in the mid-1960s, and then moving on to weaving. She attended workshops by such avant-garde fiber artists as Arline Fisch and Olga de Amaral. By 1970, she started to make three-dimensional fiber pieces. After the Museum of Arts & Design exhibition Sculpture in Fabric (1972), Jacobs gained national attention for her work and many collectors became interested in her pieces. In addition to her artwork, which is in many prominent collections, Jacobs has taught and lectured on fiber arts and design since 1972.
