Judi Miller – On Artist Residencies
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.

FAQ’s: PLEASE READ
* Will this talk be recorded for viewing later?
Unfortunately, no. Due to the logistics involved, we decided some time ago to keep these events live. Hopefully if you can’t make it to this talk, you’ll be able to make it to a future talk.
* It’s the day of the talk and I’m having trouble finding or using the link for the talk. How can I find help?
It is very advisable to LOG INTO THE EVENT A FEW MINUTES EARLY to be sure that you have no trouble with the link, and if you are having trouble the organizer can help you out. You can email or message the event organizer up until 12:30pm Eastern on the day of the talk for help. ONCE THE EVENT STARTS, however, messages and emails are not able to be monitored.
* I’m finding it distracting during the talk seeing all of the other participants on my screen. What can I do?
During the event the organizer will put the screen setting on “spotlight view” so that the presenter is the focus on your screen. Depending on your device, you may still see audience members on your screen and changing your setting from “gallery view” to “speaker view” should help with that.
