Jenny Schu: Exhibitions, Awards, Teaching Workshops

Last year, Jenny Schu’s (BFA ​‘04) grant-related exhibition ​“Creating a Nature” led to 7 of her pieces going on to internationally juried shows in 4 different states. She also took home three awards from the Michigan League of Handweavers Conference Exhibits including Best of Show and People’s Choice Awards for ​“She Can’t See the Forest through the Trees.” Jenny was also one of the recipients of her own billboard in the Lansing MI area.

In 2014 she has given talks about her work to 2 fiber arts guilds and is gearing up for a summer of teaching workshops and working on two larger bodies of work. Jenny is offering 2 workshops through Interlochen College of Creative Arts, the first on May 31, and the second on June 30. In August she is teaching a 3 day bead-weaving workshop with the Michigan League of Handweavers.

For two weeks in May Jenny will be at Blueberry View Artist Retreat in Benton Harbor to focus on working on her Uprooted Series which includes beaded sculpture. There will be a reception at the end of her stay — details can be found on her website.
