Show and Share meeting
June 28, 2021 – 3PM – SS&CBreakout
Please register on the Registration Form.
For FGP members only.
We are having Zoom meetings to catch up with each other. Show, Share and Critique is no longer just an opportunity to show your work, but also a chance to see old friends, and meet new ones!
You may share your work, or your studio, or sit back and see what others are making. Tell us about your influences and inspirations as you continue to work in isolation. Work can be shown live, with your computer’s built in camera, or if you prefer, you may send images in advance to Laura Tabakman (web@fiberartspgh.org). If you desire advice and input, we are there to assist, or you can simply choose to show your work.
Our Show-Share-Critiques and Show-Share-Critique Breakout Sessions enable members to share their work in progress and “connect” with fellow guild members. At our “breakout sessions” members can select “an interest group” to have more intimate conversations about their work and processes.
This is a fun way to stay connected and get inspired!!
Please join us!
