SANDRA SIDER, a New York contemporary quilt artist specializing in cyanotype and other photographic processes producing imagery on fabric. In Art Work you will find quilts in public collections as well as quilts currently available for purchase and exhibition. You can also learn about my personal quilt history, including quilts by others in my collection that have inspired my work. The Publications page documents my writing in fiber art and craft criticism, especially for Fiberarts Magazine; publications that illustrate my quilts are listed in the CV within Bio. Exhibitions for which I have served as juror or curator can be found in Curatorial,” which includes a complete catalogue of the quilts in the Surface Tension exhibition mounted at Kean University in November of 2006. If you are interested in booking Power Point lectures concerning quilts as contemporary art or arranging for one of my quilt critique workshops or portfolio reviews, please take a look at the Teaching page.

Women's Work: Quiltmaking in the United States from the 18th Century to the Present
This course will survey American quilts and their makers (including a few men) from the 18th through the 20th century, with a mostly chronological approach, emphasizing the 20th century. Ignoring any hierarchical divisions of fine art and folk art, we shall study American quilts within their own aesthetic.
