Meet the Instructor, Doris Florig
"Since the early 1970s, I have been experimenting with the unlimited possibilities of fiber and wool. I have designed and created fiber sculptures and woven tapestries for both indoor and outdoor locations, allowing the surroundings and the people who share those spaces to be my inspiration. Using fibers to sculpt and weave the environment I see around me to show and help people appreciate and value the world around us.
I have spent a lifetime exploring the use of fiber, from growing my own flax on a hillside in Vermont, sitting with Cree Indian weavers on the James Bay or watching men weave fishnets in Haiti. These experiences had the power to show me that fiber is my connection to people, places and time."
