Jenny Schu has been dabbling in various fiber art techniques since elementary school. While at the University of Michigan she focused her B.F.A. on Fibers and jewelry which is what she still works on today. Jenny is mostly known for her beadwork and large woven works which have been in numerous galleries and exhibits. You can currently see her jewelry in galleries around Michigan (including the UP) and Ohio. Jenny has exhibited nationally with Handweavers Guild of America’s Exhibits and Conference; she has been awarded grants and received several awards from exhibits over the years. In 2013, Jenny accepted Best in Show and People’s Choice Awards at MLH Conference on her piece “She Can’t See the Forest through the Trees.” In 2014, she had the honor of attending two artist residencies including being the Artist in Residence at the Porcupine Mountains. Jenny gives programs and workshops through various Fiber Guilds and teaches beadweaving to interested students.
