  Spotlight on Student Fiber Trends

  Amy Putansu

  The Southeast Fiber Arts Alliance (SEFAA) and the Professional Crafts - Fibers Program at Haywood Community College have joined forces to organize, promote, and host a juried student exhibition of creative works in fiber art. The exhibition exclusively features the work of post-secondary students to honor and encourage the next generation of fiber artists, and it showcases a wide range of content, material, and techniques with the common threads of originality and passion. This exhibition is the fifth in a series, with previous Spotlight exhibitions held in Greenville NC, Athens GA, Murray KY, and Greenville SC.

  Amy Putansu is the fiber instructor at Haywood Community College (HCC, Clyde, NC), in the Professional Craft program. She teaches beginning-to-advanced weaving, dyeing, textile history, and the business of selling crafted objects. Her personal studio practice centers on ocean themes inspired by her home state of Maine. HCC campus has a lovely gallery space, and the craft faculty take turns installing exhibitions, sometimes partnering with other institutions, such as Handweavers Guild of America and Southeast Fiber Arts Alliance.

  Explorations in Double Two-Tie and Beyond

  Linda Schultz

  
  

  Linda Schultz has been weaving for over fifty years. She is particularly interested in exploring different weave structures and the interplay of colour with structure. She has taught classes and written articles in order to share her discoveries.

  In this presentation, Linda will talk about her experience with taking a deep dive into “double two-tie” threadings and weave structures. By following different threads and oddities along the way, a whole new world of previously undocumented weave structures and colour effects opened up to her. She will describe the twists and turns and serendipity involved in the process of discovery, and will provide an overview of her findings about these fascinating structures.
