Katharine Cobey’s Studio, FiberME 2015, last chance for early-bird!
As a knitter, writer, teacher, artist and recipient of the Maine Crafts Association Artist Award in 2010, Katharine Cobey, is quite simply a living legend in the fiber world. On Monday, August 3, 2015 Katharine will welcome Halcyon Yarn’s FiberME tour to her studio overlooking a lovely little cove in Cushing. It is a quintessential “Maine” setting surely to be remembered. Her studio is full of her works and the materials, equipment and inspirational items she uses daily. What a treat to enter her world of creation, if only for a brief time.
Katharine has taught extensively at Haystack Mt School of Crafts, Penland School of Crafts, Split Rock Arts Program, Vogue Live, New England Knitting Lab and the Surface Design Association. She was chosen for the 2010 Maine Crafts Association Master Craft Artist Award because of her exceptional body of work, her career of service to the Arts, her inspired designs, and her singular voice / style. I can also attest to fabulous enthusiasm for her craft and to people she teaches in her classes and folks she encounters in her studio.
Katharine is also author of Diagonal Knitting. “This treasure of a book goes beyond patterns. It is a work of art. It explores diagonal knitting from the core, with beautiful photography and illustrations on each page. With great techniques, rich history, and visuals, this book is sure to become an American classic.” quoted from Living Crafts Magazine, Winter 2010. When you see examples from this book on display in her studio you’ll understand the kudos.
We are very fortunate to have Katharine in Maine and to have her share all this with the FiberME participants. Come join us.
