Knot This Way, Waxed Linen Fiber Sculptures
Sierra Nevada College26th Annual Summer Workshops | 2010 Dates
You can take a workshop anywhere, but there's no place as gorgeous as Tahoe!
July 26th - 30th, 2010
I create small sculptures using a basketry technique known as knotting. It is a simple overhand knot which is knotted around a core of waxed linen threads. With variations of this simple knot, which is repeated over and over, I am able to create a variety of shapes, textures and color patterning.

- Recycled Gas Station
- The goal of the International Fiber Collaborative is to provide an opportunity for people who enjoy working with fiber arts, whether professional artists, hobbyists or students, to come together from all over the world to express their concern about the worlds extreme dependency on oil. This year's project is called the World Reclamation Art Project (W.R.A.P.). Participants have crocheted, knitted, stitched, patched, or collaged 3 foot square fiber panels that expresses each participants concern about this topic. Simply by designing and creating these panels and participating in this project they are, in the larger picture, expressing their concern about this important subject to the rest of the world. All the panels have been sewn together to completely cover an abandoned gas station in central New York State.
- BASKETS: NO BOUNDARY, Jane Sauer Gallery
- The title of the show, Baskets: No Boundaries, suggests the theme of freedom from rules and constraints, from the limits imposed by traditions and expectations. Over recent decades, basket makers have been expanding the ancient traditions they both honor and now transcend to create their own personal expressions. The 19 artists chosen for this show convey cross-cultural concepts about the contemporary basket movement. Traditional influences represented include Haida, Nantucket, Hispanic, Ojibwa, and Japanese. Tradition and innovation are entwined in all of the baskets.
Some really wonderful works in this show. My favorites are
