"I'm quite serious about teaching art, and feel that it's not merely a job, but a calling." - Julie Marks Blackstone

Pamela Husky conveys light, patterns, space, and a sense of place in nature using silk, mohair, wool, ramie, and raffia. Stephanie Grubbs creates small, cotton-thread vessels that elevate the ordinary into a place of importance with intricate stitches and knotting.
