About the Instructor

Vicki is an experimental and innovative fiber artist and national instructor, always finding new and unique ways to work with textiles and fibers. Through her creative process, she explores many ways to weave, layer, attach, coil, tie, knot, twist, build and develop her pieces so they are vibrant and engaging. When teaching, Vicki shares all of her techniques with her students, supporting and inspiring them to fully engage in their own creative process of discovery and expression. Her students make gorgeous and unique pieces and feel truly inspired by her teaching to dive deeper into their own artistic practice. Vicki teaches at art schools and retreats around the country, and exhibits and sells her work.
