Fiber Talk with Wendy Schmid & April McNee

Wendy Schmid and April McNee are the Fiber Talk guests this week. Wendy is president of the Embroiderers’ Guild NSW and April is the Exhibition & Gallery Coordinator. The Guild is an impressive organization that works tirelessly to promote the art of needlework through its various educational programs and resources and an extensive exhibition schedule that offers something new each month in its three floors of galleries. The Guild’s newly renovated building and its outreach efforts are an integral part of the Concord West community, just outside of Sydney, Australia. Our wide ranging conversation touched on the various activities offered by the Guild and will likely give you ideas for what you might do in your organization.–Gary

  1. What a lovely show! And what a wonderful organisation; I’d wish we had something similar here in Germany. And I totally agree with the Asian view on craft versus art: you need the skills and you need to perfect them, to come up with a good piece of art!

  2. Wow! What an exciting guild. Congratulations to them
