Sac Textile Arts

Sac Textile Arts During the pandemic our groups are meeting by Zoom. You can look at our Events Calendar, on our timeline, for meeting days and times. All levels are welcome.

The Sacramento Collective for the Textile Arts offers a wide range of programs for practicing artists, collectors, and those who appreciate all forms of fiber and textile arts. In addition to lectures and workshops, and our annual Art to Wear & More show and sale, SCTA has four study groups: Surface Design and Mixed Media, Beading, Needle Arts and Book Arts. This year the Art to Wear & More event

has become a virtual marketplace, with artists and some of their works featured on our website. Links are provided to the artists’ websites and social media. The Surface Design group explores all facets of surface design and mixed media techniques, including dyeing, discharge, Shibori, silk screening, and carving custom stamps. Surface Design and Mixed Media members meet on the second Thursday of most months from 1pm–3pm. Everyone is welcome to attend. Beading study group members meet to discuss all aspects of beadwork, from stringing, bead weaving and bead embroidery, to exploring marketplace topics. The group meets the first Monday of each month, at 10:30 am. The Needle Arts Group meets the first Monday of each month at 6:30 pm. A different aspect of needlework is discussed or demonstrated at each meeting. Recent topics have included appliqué, needlefelting, and Boro stitching. The newest group, the Book (and Paper) Arts Group makes a new book or box structure each third Thursday at 1pm. We have recently covered Coptic books, Japanese stab bound books, and accordion structures .
