From SAQA:

"Combining fashion, fiber art, and storytelling, these cosplayers express themselves and find community through their artwork.

Casey Renee is a cosplayer and sewing educator who creates intricate, touch-worthy designs with a variety of materials. Casey will explore how texture can elevate the textile arts and how playing with techniques can take a flat design and make it dimensional.

Michael Burson will discuss how cosplayers adapt, paint, and weather fabrics to recreate the details of movie studio-quality costumes on a cosplayer's budget.

Janelle Santner will share how upcycled and thrifted materials can elevate a cosplay into something that stands out and reduces waste."
