SDA Seattle is a group of members of the Surface Design Association who live in the Seattle area. We’ve been getting together monthly for about a year and a half. Overall there are probably 15 or so of us that come regularly and we discuss topics ranging from “what inspires you” to felting. This past month’s meeting was on Wearables. It was a lively meeting and we rediscovered what we need to make our meetings successful; we need to look and touch stuff! We’re all working with fiber and textiles and the sensuality of those media are what draws us. With that in mind, I think we’ll be focusing more on experiential meetings rather than “talky” meetings.
