Please join us for Lunchtime Fiber open studios! There will be plenty of time for show and tell, sharing of ideas and tips, problem-solving, and having fun. You can hang out with us at the SEFAA Center or join us virtually, whichever suits you best. So, drop in when you can and stay as long as you’d like. We meet every Tuesday and Thursday, so register for all the monthly sessions you’d like to attend. 

See you there!

Image: Fiber Fallout: Plastiturtle by Shondra Leigh confronts the pervasive impact of plastic pollution on our world. Constructed from plastic bags, polyester thread, synthetic yarn scraps, and plastic buttons, the piece employs sewing to transform discarded materials into a visually compelling statement.

Using the turtle as a symbol of wisdom and resilience, Shondra reflects on the infiltration of microplastics into ecosystems and the threat they pose to all living beings, including future generations. As a mother and teacher, her work channels concern into creativity, inspiring viewers to consider their role in this environmental crisis while offering a message of hope and collective responsibility.
