Lucie Charbonneau is a fiber artist living in Quebec. She has exhibited her work at le Musee Beaulne in Coaticook, Quebec. She will be returning to Across the Bay T&B for her second Gut Creations Workshop. Lucie was inspired and mentored by the late Fran Reed, the fish skin artist.
Together they created exquisite works of art to be exhibited at the 2009 “Skin Sisters” art show at the Bunnell Street Arts Center in Homer, Alaska.
This workshop will introduce you to the artistic uses of hog casings (gut). Gut is a clean, natural fabric that is strong, lightweight and transparent with unusual texture. When dried it can be painted or dipped in fabric dye to make vibrant long lasting colored fabric that can be sewn into gift bags, items of clothing and more. Used wet it can be fashioned into baskets, journal covers, etc.
