Saturday, September 11

Meet fellow SDA members, tour the Syracuse University fiber facilities, hear presentations from fiber faculty about their work, visit MFA studios and discuss grad students’ work. We’ll end the day with a session where for all participating SDA members can share images of their work and talk briefly about them.

For those who can stay beyond 4 PM, enjoy the opening reception for the surface pattern design and fiber faculty exhibition, “Pliable Planes: Cloth and Beyond”.

There is no cost to participate, although you’ll have to pay a $5 parking fee. And you are welcome to bring friends who are not SDA members. (We may pass the hat to make a donation to the SU fiber department for hosting us.)

Please e-mail jeannerbeck@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

A final schedule will be posted on the August 8 In A New York Minute blog. You must reserve by Wednesday, September 1.

We are hoping to hold more of these exciting, informative program days at colleges and universities with fiber programs all around New York State.

What a great way for students, faculty and members out in the field to interact and learn from one another. As you must know, there’s a lot of creative energy that starts flying when artists get together.

Please get in touch with NYS SDA area representative Jeanne Beck at jeannerbeck@gmail.com if you’d like to be involved in the planning process for other program days around the state.

You will be notified when the program featuring your work is posted on the site. All programs will be available to the public at no charge. (Artists remain anonymous.)

"...The needle is an extension of my fingers, the threads and fabric my palette.  For me, color and pattern are equally important as my finished work.  Fabric art is appealing to me, due to the fact that it is more than a visual art.  It is very much linked with our sense of touch and with our memories."
