The Work — The Art

Our weekly to bi-weekly community spotlight series. Each edition names one member of the Guild and shows their work in full — a finished garment, a fiber piece, a costume build, a research project, a body of teaching — with a short conversation about how it was made and what it took.

Anyone may be tagged. If your work is ready, or you want to nominate someone whose work deserves the light, write to the studio through the contact page.

The Community Gallery presents juried work from members across every role and level — fiber art, couture construction, wearable art, costume design, soft sculpture, and studio research. Each submission includes three to five images with a statement on materials, technique, and intent.

Submissions are reviewed by the gallery committee on a rolling basis. Send your images and statement through the contact page to be considered for the next rotation.

Everyone interacts with textiles — and every role in the Guild is worth hearing from. Roles in Practice is a series of short written features in which members describe what their role actually involves: the collector on how they acquire, the educator on how they teach, the critic on how they look, the digital creative on how they render.

If you would like to write about your role, claim it first through the community page, then send your feature to the studio.

Jobs, calls for submissions, exhibitions, residencies, grants, and collaborations relevant to the TAG community are posted here as they arrive. Organizations may submit listings through the contact page for review.

Stylenaire — a person rich in style. A style shout-out featuring a community member with a standout personal style moment, presented with the attention it deserves. Each feature takes whichever form suits the subject: a short video, a podcast clip, a written editorial, or a single featured image.

To nominate yourself or someone else for a Stylenaire feature, write to the studio through the contact page with images and a short note on the look.

The Guild archives finished work from its courses and studio: fiber art, couture construction, wearable art, soft sculpture, and costume design. Each entry is catalogued with materials, techniques, and the course in which it was made — a working record of what the studio produces, and of how skill accumulates over terms.
