Judith Ann Durr has been working with fiber art — spinning, weaving and sewing — for more than 35 years. "Living and working in Yosemite National Park for many years and now living in the Oakhurst area has given me a love for our beautiful mountain area," said Judith.
Since 2004, she has been creating original silk art designs making scarves, flags, banners, framed silk, and silk embellished pillows featuring hand drawn designs. As an artisan she loves creating original silk banners, scarves and pictures to worship the Lord.
Judith is now working through a multi-step process dying silk fabrics and then steam setting the dye to the fiber to create vibrant colors. Designs are drawn on silk, stretched on frames, given a golden metallic outline, dyed, treated with salt and then processed in the silk steamer. The result is like stained glass on flowing silk.
Photographs of the silk designs and the beautiful features of the Mountain Area have brought an added line of greeting cards to her creative expression.
