Fiber Arts
Needing a creative outlet, I asked my sister to show me how to make a basket. We spent the day together weaving, and I made a rather ugly basket. But I knew I had found a passion. I came home with an ugly basket, a basket kit with a pattern, and a phone number to order books and materials.

Challenges of imagination and experience in technique
have served to focus my effort and attention on symbolic detail. Within
my art I give voice to the images that move my imagination. Colors,
shapes, textures and the combination of forms become my playmates.

Katherine finds satisfaction in the way tiny, repeated
motifs can mirror patterns in nature, such as fish scales and feathers,
or large flocks of birds. She is also inspired by mosaics, Mediterranean
colors and by yarn itself.

I create baskets using the lost art of Shaker basketry. The experience of weaving with hand-pounded ash is profound - very similar to sewing with the very finest satin.

Susan Leslie Lumsden is a rebel quilter. I
follow my own path, break rules where they get in my way, and have way
more fun than most would allow! I am respectful enough of tradition
to use its strengths but not enough to feel encumbered by it.

the common reaction to the exquisite sculptural basketry of Peggy Wyman.

I work continuously on my fiber art perfecting it
through constant practice, fiber retreats and conference. I learned
through research Flax was used during biblical times for burial wraps
this encouraged my studies even more.
