Meet the voice behind Becoming the Light: A Journey of Self Discovery through Fiber Art.

Author Renée Fleuranges-Valdes will read selected passages and unpack the themes that shaped her artistic journey. Experience an intimate exploration of the rich history and cultural significance of quilting. From her early beginnings as a young girl, sewing as a necessity and a source of storytelling, to her journey into the world of quilting.

Books will be available for purchase and autographed by the Author. This program is funded in part by the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
