Please register on the Registration Form. Registration closes an hour before the event!
For FGP members only.
Wednesday, July 13
Big Show and Share outside at Diane Morrisey’s yard, bring lunch and lawn chairs, dinner. No Zoom. Registration recommended.
This Guild Meet and Greet is for all Fiberarts Guild members to gather in person in an outdoor setting. Bring friends, family and food for yourself. Don’t forget a lawn chair. We hope new members in the Pittsburgh area will join us.
Diane’s address is 9519 Old Perry Highway in McCandless, PA 15237 North of Pittsburgh up Route 19.
Show & Shares as well as Critiques will become hybrid. They will be both in Person at Contemporary Craft in Lawrenceville, 5645 Butler Street 15201 and also on Zoom. We will reevaluate monthly to see if we continue with this modality. Please pre-register so we can update you on any changes to the format. You do not have to submit work, you can attend to meet other guild members and see what people are working on.
You have a choice to be there:
–IN PERSON if you are vaccinated, “boosted” and masked, or 10 days after you have recovered from Covid
–On Zoom.
Those who are “showing” on Zoom must send images ahead of time to Jamie Boyle jamieannboyle@gmail.com. You may take pictures of your work on your cell phone and forward to Jamie, don’t forget to identify yourself in the email.
What is the difference between a Show & Share and a Critique? You can attend both! You can attend even if you have no work to share.
Show & Share: for members who don’t want suggestions, they just want to show off, share what they are working on, and meet other Guild members.
Critique: for members who want constructive suggestions about their work to solve technical, aesthetic or presentation problems.
This is a fun way to stay connected and get inspired!!
Please join us!

Meet and Greet at the Brew House Gallery, followed by refreshments followed by 6:00 pm Presentation by Robin Bernstein “Beauty and Terror” with Introduction by Marcel Walker of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh
FI2022 Artist Robin Bernstein, trained as a painter, has worked with string and wax as her primary medium for the past 15 years. Her work focuses on both historical and urgent contemporary content and is created by obsessively cutting tiny pieces of colored string and then pressing them into wax. Bernstein believes that art has the power to shift human behavior and therefore chooses subject matter, materials, and processes that support this idea. Bernstein’s subject matter combined with her artistic technique is her way of shouting from the rooftops that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. You can find Robin’s website here.
