Fibers Department Presents Edwina Bringle
Weaving Demo
by Nationally Renowned Weaver and Fiber Artist
Edwina Bringle
Jean McLaughlin, the director of Penland School, states “through Edwina, you’ll observe colors and textures in your surroundings with fresh eyes. Her work warms your body and delights your soul.”
After 24 years of teaching at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, N.C., Edwina Bringle has joined her sister Cynthia in Penland as a studio artist. As a fiber artist she is known for her use of color and design in the creation of her woven textiles and free motion embroidered pieces. Having enjoyed photography for many years the colors and designs from the lens often become part of the textiles.
