2006 Invitational Gallery 

Curator - To be arranged

Our 2006 featured handcraft focuses on spinning and the artists’ application of this craft to their unique fiber creations. Don’t miss this year's Invitational Artist Gallery located upstairs in the Main Pavilion. Be inspired by the work, skill and creations of our four northwest hand spinning artists.

2006 Invitational Artists:
Trish Anderson is a handspinner, knitter, and has raised sheep for handspinning. She's taught and judged handspinning & knitting, and is now a professional handspinner selling her work through numerous yarn shops in the Northwest under her business:

"Tanglewood Fiber Creations" 503.366.0130

Trish resides in both St. Helens, OR and Lakewood, CA.
 
Lori Cobb began teaching herself handspinning "before the first spinning books" in the early ‘70’s. She was one of three who completed the HGA Handspinning Certificate of Excellence the first year it was offered in 1981. She was involved in the formation of the Northwest Regional Handspinners' Association, and the Aurora Handspinners' Guild.

Lori teaches and judges throughout the Northwest. She lives in Aurora, Oregon, and is a vendor at many fiber shows. Her business:

"The Cobbs' Web" 503.678.5047
 
Jude Daurelle learned to knit from her mother as a youngster. She started spinning in 1979 when she missed the Edmonds Ferry and walked into town to the knitting shop where she discovered a gray fleece and a spinning wheel; she said, "It was love at first sight."

In 1993, she was awarded The HGA "Certificate of Excellence, Part I" in spinning, and in 1997, she completed Part II, and was awarded the Certificate for "Master Spinner". Jude has taught across the U.S. and has written in "Spin-Off", "Handwoven", "Weaver’s", "Piecework", and numerous guild newsletters.

She lives in Tacoma, WA with her husband Dave, and together they often travel to fiber art conferences and teach.
 
Susan Forsyth learned to knit on her grandmother's knee. Later, bobbin lace-making became her passion, followed by spinning, weaving and subsequently, fiber preparation, dyeing and felting.

She teaches and judges fiber arts throughout the Northwest and Canada. Susan and her husband Andrew live in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, where he makes wooden fiber art tools that they sell through their business.

Our Mission is to exhibit and demonstrate the full spectrum of natural fibers (plant and animal), from beginning to end. That is, from the animal or raw fiber to the finished product.
