Join us for an engaging discussion with three artists creating with fiber in 3D!
Salley Mavor will discuss her journey as an artist who tells stories with sculptural needlework. The presentation will cover various creative endeavors, including picture book illustration, doll-making, and stop-motion animation. She will touch on her search for more meaning in her work.
Barbara Schneider's "Leaves and Forest Floor" series enlarges and reshapes images of nature. She is influenced by her volunteer work with the conservation district. Barbara is a conservation site steward and is replanting an oak tree corridor that existed before 1837. She'll tell us about what she sees there and picks up to translate into artwork.
Jean Sredl is a fiber artist using upcycled materials. Often, her artwork sends an evocative environmental message. Nature and abstraction heavily influence her artwork. She also focuses on the inner mind and science. She will talk about her unusual artwork process and how it developed. Jean will illustrate her methods, focusing on two artworks.

Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc. (SAQA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt: "a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure."
Founded in 1989 by an initial group of 50 artists, SAQA now has over 4,000 members: artists, teachers, collectors, gallery owners, museum curators, and corporate sponsors. With access to our museum-quality exhibition program, SAQA members challenge the boundaries of art and change perceptions about contemporary fiber art.
As a part of SAQA’s dynamic creative community, members can take their artwork and career to the next level. We offer a wide range of exclusive resources, mentorship programs, and professional opportunities.
In addition, SAQA documents the art quilt movement - our publications include full-color exhibition catalogs, the Art Quilt Quarterly magazine, and books like Art Quilts Unfolding: 50 Years of Innovation, and the Exploring Art Quilts with SAQA series.
