Ellen Hendricks
Foristell, Missouri
Gourd artist & basket weaver, retired Art teacher Ellen Hendricks grows and processes her own materials; for example, inner bark must be harvested in the Spring while the sap is rising. "The variety of textures and colors available from the natural fibers make working with them a real pleasure," she writes, and highlights those features with basic structures such as plain weave, chased plain weave, twill, herringbone and twining. Embellishments include old trade beads, stones and seeds from her garden. You will love the work resulting from her deep appreciation for materials, process and form.
