Printed & Stitched
May 3, 2024 - September 1, 2024
Printed & Stitched will feature 58 original works exploring the connection between printing and stitching, all by members of the Studio Art Quilt Associates (California/Nevada Regions) and the California Society of Printmakers. Printmakers often reference fiber and stitching, while textile artists/art quilters incorporate printed elements into their work. At their confluence, there is pigment and pressure, woven layers, and borders sewn with fiber. There is color and also texture, form, intention, ingenuity, and many stories. Textile and print go hand in hand, and the combinations are constantly being reinvented.
