Gabrielle Swain
Lecture: Working in a Series
What is this mystical approach of working in a series?
Learn how valuable working in series is and why we should all try it at least once.
Also shown will be how wide a variety of work a series can be....that
it can be based on a subject matter or style....not just the
same quilts recreated in different colors.
Gabrielle will show series work from a variety of quiltmakers in her lecture.

Lura Schwarz Smith
Lecture: Journey of an Art Quilter
This is a slide talk, a lighthearted retrospective look at the development of my work, covering almost 30 years of textile work and play. We'll see some things that worked, and some that didn't, but were fun learning experiences. Some of the current techniques I use and teach are shown. A small trunk show is given after the talk.

Jeanette DiNicolis Meyer
Lecture: Under Southern Skies
I have visited New Zealand five times in the last ten years, most recently
(April 2007) to accept a residency at the Christchurch Arts Centre.
An earlier visit lasting six months allowed me to interview over twenty quilters,
tapestry artists, and machine embroiderers for several magazine articles
about their art practice.
The resulting contacts yielded a treasury of slides of contemporary New Zealand fiber artists’ work.
Informed by Maori cultural influences, an abiding love of their landscape, and their immigrant experiences, New Zealand’s fiber art is rich and varied and ready for a wider audience.
