WINTER
RESIDENCY
Artists-in-Residence
Sarah Doremus & Maureen Farr​
​
​
Sarah Doremus and Maureen Farr will be in residence at DIAA Gallery for the month of January 2026 focusing on "All Things Fiber".
As metal smiths, Maureen and Sarah work with hard materials and frequently need tools to help them shape, cut and form metal into small works of art and jewelry. When thinking about a shared residency, they decided to have some fun with soft materials—yarns and fabrics.
The gallery will be set up with two sewing machines, fabrics, mountains of yarn and a variety of knitting needles and needle-felting supplies.
Their main focus during the month will be rug tufting, with each having ideas and designs on which they want to experiment. There will be at least three frames for rug tufting—one large frame will be dedicated to anyone who would like to come in and add to the overall piece.
Maureen and Sarah will be in the gallery at least four hours a day, Monday–Friday each week. The public is invited to drop in whenever the flag is out and the lights are on to work on the public piece, their own project, try out any of the various fiber media available or sip tea and chat.
