IN THE STUDIO – April 14 with Sayward Johnson

Join Sayward Johnson on In the Studio as she talks about her work and her artistic process!

 

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.

IN THE STUDIO – August 27 with Global Textile Hub

Learn All About Global Textile Hub ‘s 2021 Juried Virtual Exhibition “Re-Imagined,” a Collaboration with a Difference-
Make the Ordinary Extraordinary!

 

Info on Global Textile Hub's in the Studio visit
IN THE STUDIO WITH GLOBAL TEXTILE HUB – AUGUST 26, 2020; 7-8 PM EASTERN (5-6 PM MOUNTAIN); Brought to us by Karen Miller Studio.

 

Note that this is a “special” IN THE STUDIO to take place in the evening in North America. It is also a free event, but you must reserve a place. See info below.

The exhibition theme “Make the Ordinary Extraordinary” challenges textile artists from around the world to collaborate with each other or artists from other disciplines. The aim is to promote the diversity of textile art practices.

Jo Franco and Judi Tompkins, two of the three Australian organizers (with Kira Mead) are pioneers and innovators for textile exhibitions in a virtual online gallery – Global Textile Hub. Their first juried show featured Southern Hemisphere fiber artists using a variety of rug making techniques with mixed media. This premiered in 2018, as the 2021 exhibit will, with a launch during Sauder Village Rug Hooking Week in August. Susan Feller is the lead juror of three discussing what the judges will review.

A Virtual Exhibition format is not a simple slide show of entries. The viewer will be able to “tour” the gallery exploring each entry and turning corners to see more. Artist statements and descriptions tell the stories of the makers and the “third” artist the collaboration created.

Join the speakers to discuss how people collaborate during a pandemic, what type of media are being considered, how the entrants will be supported during the creating time and ask your own questions before signing up. Description and entry form is at https://globaltextilehub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Draft-Call-for-Entries-logos-rev.pdf .

“Re-imagined” a Collaboration with a Difference – Make the Ordinary Extraordinary is a 2021 Juried Virtual Exhibition coordinated by the GlobalTextileHub.com.

Call for entries deadline Sept 30, 2020.

Opening Date 11th August 2021.
