In this 3-hour workshop, mixed fiber artist Sharon Malec with teach a couple of mixed fiber art techniques, then help you create your own project. All materials provided.
Sharon Malec began quiliting in 1992, making traditional pieced quilts, but gradually turned to making contemporary art quilts. She lectured and taught quilting nationally for about 10 years and exhibited in national quilt shows. Her interest in animals and nature has been the inspiration for much of her artwork, which includes animals, birds, and landscapes. After years of quilting, she began exploring other types of fiber, especially wool, and began making wool felt, as well as hand spinning wool yarn which she uses for free form crochet and tapestry weaving. Recently she also developed an interest in hand embroidery. Most of her current art work incorporates several of these fiber art techniques.
