Instructor Bio
Shea Schachameyer (she/her) is an exhibiting artist and teacher of textile arts. While Shea’s work is based in traditional quilting practices, she incorporates innovative techniques into her art. Her smaller art pieces take a unique approach by using a machine to precisely cut fabric layers which are then sewn together into topographic maps. These place-based pieces seek to connect people to the times, places, and experience that give them a feeling of belonging and connection and draw upon Shea’s love of adventure and background in water science. Shea’s larger works also seek to incorporate values of rest and self-care as a radical act of resistance through the comfort and security that handmade quilts provide. www.SheaSchachameyer.com, https://www.artworkarchive.com/profile/shea-schachameyer, https://www.etsy.com/shop/WanderlustArtQuilts, https://www.instagram.com/shea.making.doing
