Guild member since 1986

Sharon is a weaver of handwoven clothing. Through the use of color, texture, and fabric manipulation, she brings the simple straight forward lines of traditional garments such as the Hopi wrap, ruana or vest into the contemporary realm. The stole is no longer a plain piece of cloth, but an elegant creation to drape the female form. Sharon selects all of her yarns, weaves all of her own fabrics, and constructs each garment. The hand finishing is also done by her hand. Once she sews in her label, anyone who buys her handwoven garment will know that she would not sell any piece that she would not personally be proud to wear herself.
