Artist Talk with Patti Barker
About Artist Talk with Patti Barker
Award-winning fiber artist Patti Barker invites you into the world of wearable art, storytelling, and the transformative possibilities of felt. In this artist talk, Patti will discuss her newly published book, Nuno Felt Wearable Art, share a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process behind her work, and offer a preview of the exciting new publication she is currently developing—a photographic exploration of the extraordinary felted costumes that will be featured in her 2026 SEFAA exhibition. Along the way, Patti will reflect on her journey as a fiber artist, her fascination with creating garments that blur the line between clothing and sculpture, and the techniques that have shaped her practice. Whether you are a felt maker, fiber enthusiast, or simply curious about the stories textiles can tell, this talk is sure to inspire. Learn more about her at www.pattibarker.com

Patti Barker
Early fascination with fabric and fashion came from my seamstress mother. You might say fiber art is bound into my DNA. My felting journey began with a study of skin. Skin as a protective covering, and as identifier, and how it can record history. A study of animal skin, and human skin; leading to hybrids.
