Textile Talks: Laura Petrovich-Cheney - From Threads to Splinters

This week's Textile Talk is an overview of Laura Petrovich-Cheney's work and her combining of two mediums, quiltmaking and woodworking. Learn how even though her designs may be different from the traditional quilt or sculpture, the "result is the same - an object of beauty and comfort, a pieced-together whole from scraps that tells a story of hope and resilience." Register today and watch when this episode airs this Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at 2 PM EDT.

 

From SAQA:

 

"Trading fabrics for worn wooden planks, split doors, cracked cabinets, and broken dressers, Laura Petrovich-Cheney still considers her work to be quilts. Her wooden scrap materials were collected after surviving a hurricane. Combining quilt making with woodworking, her sculptures are quite different from traditional quilts. Yet, the result is the same— an object of beauty and comfort, a pieced-together whole from scraps that tells a story of hope and resilience."

 

This Textile Talk takes place, Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Future installments are held online at 2 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Pacific) each Wednesday.

 

The video will be recorded and will be able to view later.
