About TSGNY
Textile Study Group of New York members are a diverse group. Some are enthusiastic beginners. Others are professionals with experience. Some work in textile-related fields as historians, teachers, critics, curators, and writers. But most members are artists. Their work is often informed by a grounding in both fine arts and traditional craft training. This lends an exciting openness to their art-making, and is reflected in the myriad genres showcased in their work: airbrush, appliqué, baskets, beading, collage, dyeing, embroidery, encaustic, felting, found materials, hooking, ikat, installation, jewelry, joomchi, knotting, mixed media, paper, papier-mâché, printing, quilting, rope, rugs, sculpture, sewing, shibori, tapestry, weaving, and wire!

How We Grew

TSGNY is dedicated to the study and appreciation of fiber art in all forms. From historic cloth to contemporary installation, from textile design to tensile architecture. Its members come from several countries, and all corners of the art world. Throughout the years, so many important artists and scholars have addressed the group. The roster reads like an encyclopedia of what’s happened and who’s who in the fiber art world over the last four decades.
