Meet Our New

SEFAA Center Coordinator!

Please help us welcome Bella Mongin who will start work as our new SEFAA Center Coordinator later this month. A recent Georgia State University graduate with a BFA in Three-Dimensional Studies (with concentrations in textiles and ceramics), Bella was the stand-out in our field of five amazing applicants. If she looks familiar, it's because she's been volunteering as our Marketing intern for the last few months. If she doesn't, stop in, introduce yourself, and find out firsthand what a wonderful addition Bella is to our team!

May Spotlight

Mini veggies by Linda Johnson, a 2023 Square Foot Fiber Art Pin Up Show winning entry. This micro view of a vegetable bowl was knit with cashmere yarn.

Holiday Closure

Don't forget, the SEFAA Center will be closed from July 4th through July 8th. We'll reopen on Tuesday, July 9th, for Lunchtime Fiber and we hope to see you then!

Entry Deadline Extended

All undergraduate/graduate students enrolled in a fiber/textile program or independently pursuing a study of fibers/textiles in the Southeast (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Virginia) at the time of application are eligible to apply! Share your work with the world and compete for $1,600 in cash prizes.

Announcing ...

All great things must end and that includes our wonderful Square Foot Fiber Art Pin Up Show. Scroll down to see all twelve of the winning entries, and then join us in congratulating the artists who created them.

Our 2025 theme will be "Texture" - lumpy, bumpy, smooth, slimy or something else, you've got a year to figure it out.
