“My current body of work focuses on transforming mundane materials into something extraordinary. I combine my love of textile techniques, fashion design and everyday materials to create works of texture and grace. Necklines, fasteners, ruffles, pleats and decoration of traditional costumes from around the globe inspire me. I draw from my own vocabulary to create interesting patterns and textures from various materials used in repetition. My aim is for the viewer to find the finished products both elegant and curious.”

Crash Course in Wire Looping
Sunday , June 7
A one day workshop on wire looping with FiberWorks 2015 juror, Lindsay Ketterer Gates, will be presented by 108 Contemporary and AHHA.

Participants will learn the basics of wire looping. Using colorful coated copper wire they will learn how to make basic forms, chase colors, add beads and other adornments, etc. Once the
basics are mastered the possibilities of incorporating these techniques into your own work are endless! Space is limited to 12 participants and the cost is $100. To register go to:
