SDA’s 2026 Online Symposium | February 7–12, 2026
Fiber artists are claiming space, building, binding, and constructing works that move beyond the wall and into lived, dimensional experience. Fiber & Form: Tactile Acts of Threading Space, presented by the Surface Design Association, brings together artists, curators, and thinkers who are using fiber to address memory, justice, scale, and belonging.
The symposium launches Saturday, February 7, with keynote talks and panels, followed by intimate meetups and small-group sessions through February 12. Held on Zoom, all sessions will be recorded and available to attendees through April 2026.
I’ll be facilitating a community meetup:
Meetup | Fiber Therapy: Untangling Creative Problems
Wednesday, February 11 | 7 PM EST
This is a collective troubleshooting session. Bring your most difficult projects, perplexing problems, and frustrating obstacles—we’ll work through them together. Come to one or both meetups and tap into the shared intelligence of the fiber community.
