SDA-Washington has a new state rep—Gabi Nirino, a fiber artist and educator! As someone who has taught Textile Design at the University of Buenos Aires and the National Technical University for the last 25 years, she will bring an exciting international perspective to Washington. Learn more about Gabi here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GNLar

Make sure to send Gabi your show announcements for our blog and monthly e-newsletter—not to me anymore! Her official SDA email is sdagnirino@gmail.com. Submissions are due by the 15th of the month.

I will be stepping down as the SDA-Washington Communications Rep to spend more time on my graphic design career. It has been an honor being the SDA-WA Communications Rep for the past two years. I’ve loved being more involved, learning new skills, and meeting other fiber artists.

This is why the SDA has been around for more than 40 years—because of the generosity and hard work of members like Gabi! I wish her success as the new SDA-Washington State Rep!
