Carol Stolte
Marysville, OH
Carol has explored many fiber techniques, including spinning, weaving, stitching, and papermaking. Her appreciation for nature, however, has drawn her to basketry. Carole’s baskets preserve much of nature’s plant life; vines, flax, beads, wire, porcupine quills, pine needles, broom sedge, willow, honeysuckle and bark. Each fiber suggests a form, and it challenges her to blend basketry and other fiber techniques into a functional and fanciful basket.
