Weaver Wendy Carpenter Featured at DCAL Gallery

The Gallery of the Door County Art League’s featured artist for the week of Sept. 20 is Wendy Carpenter, who works in fiber.

Carpenter, whose Interfibers Design Studio is in Fish Creek, studied fiber art at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, did an internship in Taos, New Mexico, and received a BA at the University of Wisconsin.

Carpenter’s work ranges from large visual decorative art to functional pieces, such as contemporary baby-carriers, which she designed after seeing such items in China. Carpenter also creates sculpted jewelry pieces that she makes with madeite, the Central American form of jade.

All types of original art produced by about 40 members are on display and available for sale at the Gallery of the Door County art League located in the Top of the Hill Shops in Fish Creek. Business hours are 10 am – 5 pm daily, and a reception is planned for the fourth Saturday of each month, 3 – 5 pm, this season.
