    This workshop is for those who want to push the boundaries of fiber concepts and processes with the use of reclaimed materials and found objects in conjunction with nature’s organic materials. The workshop explores the use of many interesting materials in a “small vessel and object” format providing an opportunity to mix materials and play with techniques. 
     
    As part of the workshop materials kit, Shannon provides each attendee an array of surprising, eclectic and usually-not-thought-of organic and inorganic materials to demonstrate basketry skills such as random weave, coiling and rib construction. She will also show how to use repetitive layers of basic stitching and cold connections to create inviting textured surfaces that invoke visual movement as the layers blend together, This workshop will sell out quickly. Please pay in full to reserved your spot.

Picture
Shannon Weber is a self-taught, award winning, interdisciplinary artist whose authentic object and sculpture designs are recognized for her unique methods of using the raw materials she has hand collected in various locations around Oregon. While there seems to be themes running through her designs, such as boats, or the "artifact" ambiance of certain objects, she allows the collected material to direct how the work is going to evolve. Every element collected has a history or a mythology of location, age, or place that is allowed to shapeshift as the materials and techniques are mixed together to the form the structure of the designs. Her work has attracted the attention of various curators of Fiber and Fine Craft which have included her work in their lectures for her skill and methods in design, both nationally and internationally. She has been asked to speak on her methods and use of materials, and she has been featured in numerous publications worldwide.
