About your instructor Bridget:

My life as a fiber artist began when I was a child.  I have always been drawn to creations using fiber as my “different box of crayons”. Quilting, embellishing, painting, dying (shibori), discharge, printing, and felting are all areas I have explored and mastered. I am a juried member of Townsend Artisan Guild and Foothills Craft Guild. I have won local and national awards for my creative use of fiber. I have studied techniques under the watchful eyes of many masters,  shared my knowledge by teaching, and enjoy displaying my work at the TAG gallery in Townsend where I share working studio space with Ewe Rock Fiber and sell many of the products I use.
