Threads of Inspiration with Phyllis Small
Saturday, November 21, 2026, 1:00 to 3:00 pm
Glastonbury Arts Center, 1396 Hebron Avenue, Glastonbury CT 06033
Join award-winning fiber artist Phyllis Small for an engaging talk about her creative journey and the influences that shape her textile work. Having explored pen and ink, collage, painting, pottery, printmaking, papermaking, and quilting, Small brings a rich, experimental sensibility to fiber art. Inspired by color, shape, line, texture, and the tactile qualities of fabric, she views textiles as joyful, restorative, and essential to her well-being. Small has enjoyed a long career as an award-winning artist whose work has appeared in numerous solo and group exhibitions. In 2021, the Windsor Art Center presented 80@80, a retrospective celebrating her work. She earned a BA in Chemistry from Boston University and pursued postgraduate studies at the University of Hartford. She also studied at the West Hartford Art League, Farmington Valley Arts Center, and The Artists Collective, with additional instruction from Margot Rosenthal in collage, Ionis Martin in drawing and painting, and Bill Toulis of Pratt Institute in silk screening.
