PieceWork Magazine Submissions
Interweave
Loveland, CO
November/December 2014 issue
PieceWork is a bimonthly magazine with high visual impact focusing on the historical aspects of needlework around the world. PieceWork readers are passionate about needlework; they value the role needlework has played, and plays, in the ongoing human story. Well-researched feature stories explore the traditional makers of needlework, including knitting, needlepoint, embroidery, cross-stitch, quilting, crocheting, beadwork, tatting, lacemaking, and surface design.
PieceWork readers want to know the origin of the various needlework techniques. Readers especially want to know how a technique was done. Therefore, each issue includes in-depth information on various techniques, including step-by-step how-to instructions to replicate the technique. High-quality finished projects that readers will want to make for themselves or to present as gifts to others are another component.
If you are not already familiar with the content, style, and tone of the magazine, we suggest you read a few issues. We expect that the submission you ask us to consider has not been published nor is it presently submitted elsewhere. If any part of your submission has been published previously, please let us know when and by whom.
November/December 2014—UNDERWEAR
Oh my—unmentionables come to the forefront! For centuries, people have constructed all manner of underwear using a variety of techniques. And often these seldom-seen items were elaborately embellished. Because of this embellishment, these are items families have treasured and passed along to future generations. Compelling,
often personal, stories go hand in hand with this specific element of dress; projects will bring the unmentionables out of the closet.

Mendocino Art Center Artist in Residence Program 2014/15
Deadline: April 11, 2014 (RECEIVE)
Artist in Residence Program 2014/15
Mendocino Art Center
Mendocino, California
September 2014 through May 2015
The AIR program provides a community-based environment that facilitates both educational and individual artistic growth at the Mendocino Art Center (MAC).
The AIR program was developed to bring emerging and established artists to this unique Northern California region. It provides both time and space for AIRs to develop their work. The MAC residency year runs from third week in September to mid-May.
Overview
The experience of living and working at MAC is shaped in many ways by its coastal location and by the singularly unique nature of its diverse facility. At MAC, we strive to provide an enriching experience that promotes an awareness of the arts with a global consciousness.
Qualifications
The program welcomes self-motivated, focused individuals working in traditional or non-traditional studio arts, and independent creative endeavors, from mixed media to writing. Applicants should hold a BA, BFA, MFA or life equivalency representing an established foundation of knowledge and body of work in their respective discipline. The primary basis for selection is the strength and quality of the applicant's work.
Artist residents must also have a clear objective for the time of their residency and be willing to live and work as part of a close-knit community. A successful residency depends in part on expectations consistent with what MAC has to offer. Applicants with no prior connection to MAC are strongly encouraged to visit or take a
class before applying for the program. It is also advised to contact the Coordinator specific to your studio practice or the Education Director for an independent type residency.
