Poster of Sayward Johnson

 

Sayward Johnson is a copper and textile artist whose work explores her fascination with fabrics and sculptures that adhere to the laws of metal-smithing as well as those of textiles and, furthermore, present traditional textile patterns in unexpected contexts. She finds beauty and meaning in natural processes that cannot be controlled, such as decay and the transformation of surfaces through erosion and new growth. In her studio practice, she focuses on weaving, knitting and embroidery.

Originally from Danvers, Massachusetts, Sayward is a graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. She currently lives in Chelsea, Quebec, with her husband and young daughter. She is an active member of the Enriched Bread Artists and 44.4 Mothers/Artists collectives in Ottawa. Sayward has exhibited across Canada and sold her work to private collectors in the US, Canada, and Europe. She has received grants from the Ontario Arts Council, the City of Ottawa, Craft Ontario, Arts Ottawa East, and the Canada Council for the Arts.

You can learn more about Sayward and see her work at www.saywardjohnson.com and on Instagram @saywardjohnson.

Judi Miller, textile artist
IN THE STUDIO WITH JUDI MILLER – WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2020; 1-2 PM EASTERN (11-NOON MOUNTAIN)

 

Join Canadian Textile Artist, Judi Miller, as she discusses her experiences with artist residencies and answers the questions: What is a residency? What are the expectations? And are you ready to attend?

Judi is a textile artist specializing in free motion embroidery. Using a variety a threads, colour, and weights, she creates pieces with finely stitched details on a painted, fabric base. She uses her sewing machine as her choice of artist’s tool, no different from a paint brush or pencil.

Her inspiration springs from so many sources, but most often she explores the natural landscape of the Ottawa area. Her embroidery technique lends itself to capturing light, colour, and movement that all help to create a strong sense of memory and place.

Judi Miller has exhibited and taught workshops across Ontario and has had a number of solo exhibits of her work. She did her first artist residency in 2017 at Stiwdio Maelor in Corris, Wales. Her second artist residency was at Artscape Gibraltar Point, Toronto Island, in 2019.
