\nI am very thankful to have had the opportunity to spend a week at Penland School of Crafts. My week spent at this retreat gave me the chance to unwind and focus my creative energy on fiber arts. Exploring further options with embroidery.
\n2. My Hand \/\/ Feed Sacks<\/a>
\nThis was one of a few personal binding projects I was able to work on this year. I mainly played around with embroidery through tissue on this binding.
\n3. Artist:\u00a0Leigh Suggs<\/a>
\nI got the chance to see her work in person at the gallery at Penland.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nCheck out this updated interview with binder Lori Sauer. Over the course of one month, I’ve highlighted five of her most recent bindings. Lori and I discuss her design concepts and her choices for structure and materials.
\n5.\u00a0Studying in London with Mark and Tracey<\/a>
\nAlthough this trip occurred in 2016, my post wasn’t live until early in the year. It’s a great review of the techniques that I learned from these drastically different, yet utterly talented binders.
\n6. Swell Things No. 39 \/\/ Z\u00fcrich Edition<\/a>
\nMy trip to Z\u00fcrich was surprisingly filled with amazing art, decorative papers and beautifully crafted tools.
\n7. Catching up with Hannah Brown<\/a>
\nIn the first of my updated interview series, I reached out to Hannah Brown. She has created a wide range of work since our last interview, but I chose to focus on just five of her most recent bindings that I absolutely adore.<\/p>\n
