Krokbragd wall hanging

Artist: Claudia Berguson

Krokbragd wall hanging woven on a rigid heddle loom. The main motifs I used, besides the sea, were three from the place in northern Norway where my great-grandfather came from: the boat sheds, church, and iconic mountain range, the Seven Sisters.

Ice dyed robe

Artist: Maria Combs

Here is a picture of me in an ice dyed robe that is handmade ( sewn, not woven) cotton. The technique is ice dyeing using Procion dyes: the material is scrunched, then ice and powdered dye applied over the top, such that the ice melting dissolves the dyes.

Wet felted scarf

Artist: Melanie Mathieson

Created for her very first juried Arts Festival on Lake of the Woods, Canada.
