Making is My Must!
Even after teaching for 15 years, I am always looking for new ways to make Art with unexpected materials, usually for an art lesson for my middle school students. This passion was set in motion in the mid 2000's when I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Kent State University. A graduate level 3 Dimensional weaving course perpetually pushed us to consider making woven textiles out of wire, natural fibers, paper and "Plarn". Plarn, Plastic yarn, is created by cutting a continuous spiral into an ordinary grocery bag.
