About the Instructor:
Rebecca Smith studied tapestry weaving with one of the great modern masters, Archie Brennan, in whose workshops she learned the fundamentals of good tapestry weaving. Inspiration and exploration led her away from traditional tapestry weaving. Although tapestries are a form of cloth, her desire was to expand them into a 3-dimensional form. She developed her signature style of blending yarn, beads, and wire into a single composition. Her work has been shown in juried exhibitions throughout the US.
