Artists at work! |

What a success! Thank you to everyone who came out to watch our artists at work in December. We all had a wonderful time with you. Our slide show to the left has some of the artists you may have seen. We had several others joining in, as well.
Markings Gallery and the artists we represent wish to celebrate the season with you! Peace and good wishes to all! |
We are pleased that Stephanie Crossman has added her unique pieces to the gallery this month. These pieces truly need to be seen in person to understand the intricacy of what Stephanie does with an ancient craft.
"Traditional knotted netting is an ancient skill that I have taken to a contemporary end. I use the same knot & tools as the fishermen, only on a smaller scale. My husband’s great-grandmother taught me the technique when she was 92 years old. " |
Sara has been a weaver since 1971 and we are all looking forward to having her work in the gallery. Her passion for textiles and color is evident in the rugs, runners, and pillows she weaves. She borrows from the rag rug tradition where strips of many varied cotton fabrics (prints, solids, checks, and textures) -- the weft -- are woven row by row to achieve evocative color striations. Her hand manipulated techniques are based on traditional methods.
