Your Instructor: Wendy Smith-Wood Retired mountaineer and musher, Smith-Wood sensei is a fiber artist living with her husband on an Alaskan homestead at Sheep Mountain close to the Matanuska glacier. She spent fifteen years as a mountain guide on the old silk routes in the Pamirs and Karakorum mountains, and climbing in the Himalayas, Atlas, Alps and Pyrenees. Each winter she traveled to Alaska to mush dogs in her favorite wilderness. For the past 10 years she has worked as a textile artist specializing in Arashi Shibori. She produces exquisite ‘haute couture’ scarves and shawls. She also paints on silk for a short time each summer and is experimenting with sculptural Shibori wall-art . Her work has been sold to Hollywood, state Senators, the Kennedys and many, many Alaskans who have supported her over the years. She winters in Central Florida near Arching Oaks Art and Culture Center. PBS video on Wendy: https://video.milwaukeepbs.org/video/i-am-an-off-the-grid-artist-indie-alaska-gbcwvk |
