SUMMARY:PA Fibershed Meet The Makers: Holly Guertin
DESCRIPTION:In an increasingly digital and virtual world\, working with wool has offered artist Holly Guertin a return to physical\, tactile experience. This talk explores how fiber and textile practices ground us in our bodies and reconnect us to material reality\, serving as a counterbalance to systems that often distance us from our humanity\, dignity\, and agency. \nThe presentation will feature works from Hand in Hand\, Holly’s upcoming solo exhibition on view July–October at Waterworks Visual Arts Center in Salisbury\, North Carolina. Through this collection\, Holly reflects on themes of connection\, reciprocity\, and communion between people and the earth\, using textiles as a medium to explore what it means to be human in relationship to land\, labor\, and one another. \nDate: April 15\nTime: 12-12:45 PM ET\nLocation: Virtual (Zoom link provided upon registration) \n\nAbout the Presenter: \nHolly Guertin is a contemporary fiber artist creating in felt\, embroidery\, and crochet. She received her BFA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2011 and is currently based in the Philadelphia\, PA area. She has exhibited work at Twenty*Twenty House (2023 & 2024)\, Gallery 26 (2023)\, and Ogden Museum of Southern Art (2017). Her work has been featured in Surface Design Journal (2025)\, Dappled Things (2025)\, Colossal (2024)\, Business of Home (2023). In 2019\, Guertin collaborated with Anthropologie to create collections for Fall Home Goods and Holiday Decor inspired by her artworks. “All Like Sheep” (2011)\, “Pink Sheepskin” (2018)\, and “Rise and Fall” (2023) are exhibited in SCAD’s Permanent Collection. She is the Fiber Arts teacher and Chair of the Craftsmanship Department at Martin Saints Classical High School. She is also a Columnist at The Better Part Journal. \n\nJoin us as we meet the makers strengthening our fiber community\, one story at a time. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nThis Lunch & Learn session is free and open to all\, with a suggested donation of $5–$10. Contributions directly support PA Fibershed’s educational programming and community initiatives.Reserve your spot today!
