Join us at the Page-Walker for an exclusive opportunity to meet seventh-generation quiltmaker Sydney Lee. This event invites the public to engage directly with an artist who bridges the gap between traditional craft and contemporary modernist art. Sydney Lee brings a unique perspective to quilting by integrating elements of color theory and grid structures inspired by modernist painting. Attendees will have the chance to view her latest textile works in person and hear firsthand about her creative process. Her quilts represent a deliberate evolution of a multi-generational heritage, blending historical technique with a fresh, artistic aesthetic. The session will highlight how she blurs the boundaries between functional craft and fine art. This event is perfect for art enthusiasts, quilting hobbyists, and anyone curious about the intersection of tradition and modern design. The atmosphere will be casual and welcoming, offering a great space for conversation and community connection. Light refreshments will be served throughout the evening. We encourage you to attend to gain a deeper appreciation for this textile medium and enjoy a thoughtful discussion with a talented local artist.
