intertwining the fiber arts community

Ongoing and Upcoming Events

Ongoing events include Lunchtime Fiber, every Tuesday from 10 am to 2 pm, and Rush-Hour Refuge, every Wednesday from 5 to 8 pm.  Both events are free and open to everyone and both are the perfect opportunity to relax, meet up with friends, and work on a current fiber project or weave on the SEFAA Center loom.  Come often and whittle down that list of UFO's (UnFinished Objects!)

Here's a quick look at our upcoming events. Click on a title or scroll down the page to see detailed descriptions for each event.

Superbowl Sip and Stitch S  uupupeu 

February 5, 2012 , from 4:00 pm until ? at the SEFAA Center

Square Foot Fiber Art Pin-Up Show

A Non-juried Exhibition open to everyone!
March 2012 at the SEFAA Center

Create one or two 12" fabric squares in any textile technique and any material and submit them for our display wall.   No theme and no restrictions other than a finished size of 12" x  12."  Let your imagination soar and let's show how wonderfully diverse, unique and creative the fiber arts are!

Show attendees will vote for their three favorite squares and the top 12 vote-getters will be photographed for inclusion in SEFAA's 2013 calendar.  Also, a silent auction will run the duration of the show, so artists are encouraged to offer their submission(s) for sale.  The portion of the sale proceeds donated to SEFAA (20% minimum to 100% maximum) is up to each individual artist.

Everyone is encouraged to enter!  There is no charge to enter, and entries may be submitted by mail or in person but must arrive on or before March 2, 2012.  Mailed entries will not be returned unless accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope.  Download an entry form here.

American Craft Council Show

March 9-11, 2012  at the Cobb Galleria Center, Atlanta 

This annual show of more than 200 top artists from around the country is not to be missed.  This year that is especially true since SEFAA artists will be demonstrating and promoting the fiber arts all three days!
