S304 MINI MARKET BASKET

Judy A. Dominic
Harrison, Ohio

Judy tries to see the world from different angles as she goes about her business of raising three teenage sons. Her other business of fiber work lends itself to the expression of those different angles. Starting with a loom weaving background, she includes basketry, felting, spinning, dyeing, bogolan fini (mud cloth), paper making and marbling in her repertoire of media and techniques. Judy has been an instructor and exhibitor of her many fiber interests for the past 19 years. She is the immediate past president of the Weavers Guild of Greater Cincinnati, Inc., the co-planner of the annual Midwest Basketry Focus conference and the General Chair for Convergence 2000, Cincinnati.

Through slides, lectures and samples, be introduced to the techniques and methods of traditional bogolan fini as well as the history and importance of the symbols used. Then spend some time playing in the mud!

Supplies: Apron; masking tape; small lidded plastic container.
Fee: $10.00 person (pays for muds, cloth, spoons, cardboard, baggies, brushes, tannin, paper towels and the preparation and collection of all the above).
Level: All
