creating a supportive community. Monthly meetings are held from September to May.

LECTURES AND PRESENTATIONS: FGP invites regional, national and interna-
tional artists, curators, and educators to speak. These are open to the public.
SHOW, SHARE & CRITIQUES are a great way to foster creative growth. They are
scheduled regularly (usually the same day as our monthly meetings) to provide sup-
portive responses to FGP members’ work. Members are encouraged to discuss both
finished work and works in progress.
FIBER CONVERSATIONS held in FGP homes provide opportunities for members
to meet in small groups to share experiences, solve technical and aesthetic problems,
network and at times tour member’s studios.
WORKSHOPS: The Guild offers quality workshops with exemplary local and na-
tional fiber artists, often in collaboration with Contemporary Craft. FGP offers a limited
number of discounts and scholarships to members. Fees are variable.
EXHIBITIONS: FGP provides its members with exhibition opportunities including an
annual juried member show at various locations. For those seeking venues for exhibit-
ing their work, an extensive list of opportunities (Call for Entries) is posted every two
months on the FGP website.
OUTREACH: Shares the FGP’s talents with the greater Pittsburgh area. FGP works
closely with local organizations, agencies, and schools to promote fiber art, creating
new community connections and inspiring a new generation of fiber artists.
INTEREST GROUPS: FGP has established groups that are designed to provide mem-
bers with a forum to pursue a particular interest within the wide range of fiber art.
Groups are informally structured and self-governed, each deciding their focus, activi-
ties, locations, and dates. Members are encouraged to form additional groups around
their interest. Contact Carol Henley, Coordinator at cehenagain@yahoo.com.
Felting Group celebrates all things FELT! Both wet and needle felting (aka dry felting).
Beginner, experienced, and those who want to learn are welcome.
Knit & Crochet Group is a relaxed, diverse group who enjoy knitting and crocheting.
We provide help, support, encouragement, and share our projects. The group meets
the first Sunday of the month at the Squirrel Hill Library from 1pm - 3pm. All levels of
knitters and crocheters are welcome.
Installation Group explores issues related to site-specific installation art. We visit
exhibitions and talk about our own current and potential projects. Collaboration and
experimentation are encouraged.

—8—2019 - 2020 Program SCHEDULE
September 10 Tuesday
Show, Share & Critique 3:00 - 5:00
Welcome Back Potluck 5:00
Presentation: Jeanne Bieri, FI2019 artist 7:00
Location: CC / Strip District
Join us at Contemporary Craft to renew our tradition of the Welcome Back Potluck.
Bring a covered dish to share, a friend and stay for our guest speaker’s presentation.
Jeanne Bieri is a Fiberart International 2019 artist and a Focus Fiber 2019 First Prize win-
ner. She incorporates family and collected textiles into her unique artwork. Her father,
a pilot in WWII, brought home army blankets the family used on camping trips. At a
reflective point in her career she began mending, piecing and combining the blankets
with parts of damaged quilts she collected. The blankets and quilts have stories to tell,
many of war, family struggles and life cycles. Jeanne uses chain stitches, as found in
Muslim clerical garments in which each stitch is a prayer, as an act of healing. It is her
hope that in restructuring and mending these blankets, the horrors of war today can
be kept at bay.
October 5 Saturday 10:30 - 12:30
Workshop: Mending for Sustainability with Sarah Kate Beaumont
Location: CC / Strip District
Tuition: $40. Guild Discounts of $5 available.
The process of mending personalizes what we own and puts sustainability at our fin-
gertips. Bring a piece of clothing that needs to be mended: torn, moth-eaten sweaters,
a hem coming unstitched, etc. Participants will be guided through the steps of mend-
ing and leave the class with a newly repaired garment! Concerned about the impact
of fast-fashion on the environment, the instructor has created a unique wardrobe and
has made every stitch she wears without buying a single article of clothing since 2008.
See page 8 for registration information.
October 17 Thursday
Show, Share & Critique 3:00 - 5:00
Presentation: Trunk Show by Denise Roberts, Quilting in Curves 7:00
Location: PCA&M / Shadyside
Denise Roberts is an artist whose medium is the quilt. She lives on a 38-acre farm in
the mountains of West Virginia with her husband Rick. Inspiration comes from her
environment. She says, “I drive on roads that make Italian road racing look easy. Our
two lane highways can be very narrow and extremely curvy. I am influenced by these
roads and by viewing the continuous curves of the landscape.” Denise hand dyes fabric
for her stitched work during the summer months. She is a master of curvilinear piecing;
her exquisite compositions are part of three series of works: Mitote, Sisu and Finding
Connections. Her work has been in numerous art and textile exhibitions in Europe and
the United States. She has won many awards, among them the coveted Japan Prize at
Quilt National. In her presentation Denise will take us on her journey as an artist and
bring actual work to show and share.
—9—October 19 Saturday 1:00 - 4:00
Workshop: Indigo Dyeing with Shibori Techniques by Amber Coppings
Location: CC / Strip District
Tuition: $65. Guild Discounts of $15 available.
Learn how to use itajime and kumo shibori fabric dyeing techniques to create unique
designs on cloth. Shibori refers to Japanese methods of binding cloth to achieve soft,
yet geometric designs. Students will leave with a dyed circle-scarf as well as samples
of Kona cotton that can be used for future projects. Students will receive a supply list.
See page 8 for registration information.
November 9 Saturday
Presentation: Tapestry Inspirations:
The Work of Henry Hallet & David Mooney 1:00
Show, Share & Critique 2:30 - 4:30
Location: PCA&M / Shadyside
Join us for an afternoon at Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media to see the work of two
admirable and admired Fiberarts Guild members.
Henry Hallet has always been fascinated by the way an image can be built within a wo-
ven structure and the way colors can be blended in fiber. His new work in needlework
rests on the foundation of 18 years spent weaving tapestry and his love for ancient
tapestry and art history.
Henry will also discuss the work of his friend David Mooney, who passed away in July
of 2019. David was fascinated by old tapestries from an early age. As a college student,
he spent many hours in the weaving studio as an observer and helper. Later he became
an accomplished tapestry artist but struggled with the frustration of fitting into the
art world. He became a sound engineer. After retiring 27 years later, he returned to
tapestry.
December 7 Saturday 1:00
Fiber Roundtable
Location: 6th PC / Squirrel Hill
Fiberarts Guild member Delli Speers leads a discussion about materials we collect and

Show, Share & Critique 3:00 - 5:00
Presentation: Patricia van Valkenburg: My Journey as an Artist 7:00
Location: PCA&M / Shadyside
Patricia van Valkenburg was born in Roosendaal in the southwestern part of The
Netherlands. She has always been interested in the beauty of things: nature, fashion,
ceramics, and art in general. She likes to draw, paint, knit, felt, and design and make
clothes. She considered herself an enthusiastic hobbyist until her teacher at the arts &
crafts school she attended signed her up for a national contest for non-professional
artists and she—to her great surprise—came in fourth. Patricia will tell us in person
what happened after that surprising result.

ored to be welcomed to Tina’s world.

Samuel Barsky prepares by knitting those places onto sweaters. The 43-year-old knit-
ting extraordinaire has built up an online following by sharing photos of himself visit-
ing famous landmarks while wearing handmade sweaters that match the sites.”(Time
Magazine). Join us to meet this knitting phenomenon and see his work.
May 15 Friday
Show, Share & Critique 3:00 - 5:00
Presentation: Merill Comeau, FI2019 Artist 7:00
Location: CC / 5645 Butler Street
By deconstructing and reconstructing textiles and altering clothing, Merill Comeau dis-
rupts, reorders, and rebuilds real or imagined narratives. Her stories take the shape of
installations, garments, and murals that explore common human concerns and create
narratives of repair and regeneration. She explores historical and contemporary wom-
en’s roles: the toil of the maker, the privilege of the wearer, the job of mothering, how
to be a ‘good’ daughter, and societal expectations for sexual and emotional expression.
In addition to her solo studio practice, she works with communities to create collabora-
tive works of art. Committed to the use of visual expression as storytelling, transmitting
knowledge, and teaching values, she facilitates the exploration of individual identity
and participants’ commonalities, resulting in site-specific installations and collaborative
wall hangings.
May 16 Saturday 10:00 - 5:00
Workshop: Attire + Autobiography = Art with Merill Comeau
Tuition: TBA. Guild Discounts TBA
Location: CC / 5645 Butler Street
In this workshop we will mine clothing and apply surface design techniques to visually
express our stories: Is a shirt an opportunity for a social justice statement? Do we
express our flair by embellishing a dress? Do we highlight relationships by salvaging
snippets of worn cloth? We will explore the expressive qualities of mark-making with
an emphasis on exploration and play. Participants will be free to work in 2-D or 3-D:
works may take the form of altered garments, quilting yardage, and/or wall art. All
levels welcome, no previous experience necessary. Supply list will be provided. See
page 8 for registration information.
— 12 —May 17 Sunday 11:00 - 2:00
Workshop: Getting to the Finish Line and Beyond with Merill Comeau
Tuition: TBA. Guild Discounts TBA
Location: CC / 5645 Butler Street
Do you have a project that is stuck or challenging you? Could you use some help
developing or enhancing your answer to “What kind of art do you do?” In this two
part workshop we will help you identify how to progress on a project and help you
generate an ‘elevator speech’ for use in your artist statement or when describing your
work. Bring in a piece that is unfinished that you would like to jump-start, or that needs
final touches and we will explore next steps through positive, constructive feedback.
We will also do a group exercise that results in a collection of words and phrases spe-
cific to each artwork. Participants, inspired by these words, will draft a short paragraph
about their work that they may share with the group to receive immediate feedback.
All levels welcome. Supply list will be provided. See page 8 for registration information.

ABOUT THE GUILD
The mission of the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh is to promote appreciation of fiber art.
Formerly the Embroiderer’s Guild, the FGP is a member-supported organization affiliated
with the Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media (PCA&M) since 1963. All affiliated guilds
pay an annual organizational membership fee. The FGP provides a support community
for artists and others interested in the medium. The FGP produces juried and non-juried
exhibitions of members’ work so that established and emerging artists may exhibit side
by side. Producing the prestigious triennial Fiberart International extends the FGP’s out-
reach beyond our region to a growing national and international audience.
