Happy New Year!
We are excited to welcome guild member Sydney Lee (@sydneyleeart) as our presenter for our program in our January meeting. Sydney will be giving a trunk show presentation of her quilts and it is sure to be a show stopper.
Here’s a little more about Sydney: “Sydney Lee (b. 1997) is a seventh-generation quiltmaker from Raleigh, North Carolina. Sydney’s quilts transcend tradition, embracing a contemporary aesthetic while honoring her traditional craft heritage. Influenced by both traditional quilts and modernist paintings, her quilts challenge perceptions of the medium, blurring the lines between art and craft. She has exhibited at the Hub-Robeson Gallery at Penn State University, the Cabarrus Arts Council in Cabarrus, NC, Montgomery College in Rockville, MD, New York Arts Practicum in New York, NY, and Ox-Bow School of Art in Saugatuck, MI. In August 2024, she received a full fellowship to attend the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She received her MFA in Fibers from the University of Oregon and her BFA in Printmaking and Drawing from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.”
In addition to Sydney’s talk, we’ll install our new board, review our guild’s financials, and of course, have Show & Tell.
Our meeting will be held at the Brier Creek Community Center on Sunday, January 12th from 3-5pm.
