About the event
Join us on Saturday, July 18 at 1:00 PM for a fascinating lecture with mixed-media textile artist Amy Orr.
Orr creates striking, intricate works from unexpected post-consumer materials—credit cards, twist ties, even shattered auto glass—transforming everyday discards into pieces that echo traditional textile patterns like quilting. Her work thoughtfully reinterprets “women’s work” through a modern, sustainable lens.
Her art has been exhibited internationally and right here in Southold, and she has held roles as a faculty member at Moore College of Art and Design and Director of FiberPhiladelphia.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear about her creative process and artistic journey.
