Explore the meeting point of fiber and metal in this hands-on workshop, where you’ll learn to construct sculptural squares using wire manipulation, hand-sewing, fabric, and yarn. You’ll leave with techniques for combining these materials into cohesive, textural pieces — plus a finished square (or two) of your own. 

Staci Swider is a mixed-media artist and sculptor based in Aiken, South Carolina, working in cloth, wire, found objects, and paint to create ceremonial vessels, sculptural headdresses, and layered paintings rooted in mythology and the natural world.
