  We will kick off a celebration of 50 years as a Guild at our potluck and retreat with a special cake.

  The retreat will feature

  • a corner to explore using a warping paddle with Pat Brown 
  • a corner to explore Echo & Iris. If you have experience with Echo & Iris, please bring your work to share and help answer questions for others who might be interested in learning more. Contact Ann Baker with questions.
  • No doubt a corner will be dedicated to spinning for those who would like to show & share. 

  We still need representation in one or two more areas of interest. If you know how to do something others might be interested in learning please let Andrea Croskery, program chair, know soon. You need only demonstrate/teach/lead for 15-20 minutes and then repeat several times to let people float about the room to observe all that they are interested in seeing.

  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.
