The Surface Design Association

The Surface Design Association (SDA) is a professional organization dedicated to artists and designers who work with surface decoration—such as textiles, ceramics, printmaking, and mixed media. It provides support, education, and networking opportunities for creatives interested in exploring surface design techniques and ideas. SDA fosters innovation and sharing in the field, encouraging artists to push boundaries and develop their craft. Through exhibitions, events, publications, and membership resources, the association promotes appreciation and understanding of surface design as an important art form and profession.
