This is a blog about The fiber adventures of Cherri Hankins, and her students. And I am Cherri. My studio is in the far west end of Richmond, VA. It is within a mile of the Gaskins Rd. North Exit of I-64 interstate. Very convenient, huh? I have been weaving for 19 years, and teaching fiber arts for 16 years. I have exhibited in fiber art shows across the US and internationally. I no longer travel to sell my work at art shows, but rather have settled in to sell my work on a commission basis, or at one of the retail galleries that sell for me.
My exhibit, “Unsighted – The Tactility of Textiles”, will be installed at Bay School of the Arts in Mathews, VA for their May exhibit. This exhibit is an invitation to the unsighted community to experience exhibited art, and for the sighted community to experience art as a tactile medium as well as a visual medium.
I teach at several art centers, which include:
The Visual Art Center of Richmond (Formerly The Hand Workshop Art Center)
The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen
Bay School – A Community Art Center (AKA Bay School of the Arts)
I teach weaving, spinning, felting, some sewing, embroidery, kumihimo and tie-dye.
