Making Session for the PNW Community Coral Reef /January 14, 2022 by CHRISTINA HARKNESS

If you will be near Eugene, Oregon on Saturday January 22, stop by the Eugene Textile Center from 10-3 for a maker’s session. Learn about the PNW Community Coral Reef, get ideas for corals and critters and sit and create if you wish.

As a fiber artist, I find my inspiration at the nexus of science, nature, form and texture. I am fascinated by the mathematics involved in hyperbolic crocheted forms as well as the process of researching plants and animals and imagining ways to create them through weaving, knitting and crochet. My fiber art coral pieces recreate a world that is infinitely complex, interdependent, and under threat by pollutants and climate change. My goal is to fascinate, inspire, and create change.
