Vessel #5

With a background in woven furniture restoration, I developed a strong love for design and intricate structure. My projects flow with patience and a deep appreciation for the craft. I use a variety of weaving techniques using round reed, flat reed and cane. These materials are dyed before the weaving process begins with cellulose fiber dyes. A multiple step finishing process brings additional highlights and depth to the weaving. A UV archival varnish is applied then a lustrous hand-rubbed wax finish brings the piece to completion. My work is a culmination of 36 years experience working with weaving materials, finishes and exploring weaving techniques.
