INTERFIBERS DESIGN GALLERY
“30 YEARS… CREATING ART”!
WENDY CARPENTER, celebrating 30
years…owner/artist of INTERFIBERS DESIGN GALLERY, county road F,
Fish Creek (1 mile east from the Peninsula art school) Door
County geode jewelry art opening Saturday, June 25th, 3-8pm.
Wendy, a local artist since 1974, creates
spacious 3D mix media woven wall sculptures…incorporating
various natural found-objects and materials such as hand-made
paper, leather, wood and metal. Her work expresses a profound
connection to nature through form, color and tactile material.
Just a short history…In 1979 Wendy co-owned with David Hatch the
old Hatch Poultry farm on highway 42 in Ephraim (currently Fine
Line Design Gallery.) Together they renovated and restored the
barn and opened Interfibers in 1981 Wendy moved Interfibers to
Fish Creek in 1996 and is now celebrating her 30th year.
Wendy studied fiber art weaving for architectural designs at the
Evergreen Washington State College, Rio Grande tapestry in Taos,
NM, wool production on a sheep ranch in Utah and completed her
Bachelors of Art at the University of Wisconsin.
More recently, about eight years ago, Wendy started working with
gemstones (Jade and quartz in particular) and last spring was
fortunate enough to find geodes in her back yard! A geode is a
partly hollow ball filled mostly with quartz crystals or agate.
The geode cavity formed from a hard little nodule that later
dissolved away, leaving a void. The process started about 350
million years ago when limey sediments built up in warm, shallow
seas that covered what is now central United States. After many
hours of slicing, cutting, polishing geodes Wendy has created a
classic display of Door County geode necklaces, earrings,
pendants and belt buckles.
A cheese and wine art reception will be held on Saturday, June
25th, 3pm-8pm. Please join us on the 25th for Interfiber’s Door
County geode jewelry art reception and thank you for supporting
local artists!
