Every 3rd. Thursday at ART on FIRST, is where the action is. YES! "ART-in-ACTION".
Our series where you can meet and experience one of our artists at work. This time, JOHN HARDEN will spend the day at the Gallery, set-up and working LIVE on her fantastic felted wool sculptures. It’s a visual experience, as well as an opportunity to get to know the artists themselves, ask about their process, and fall in love with his beautiful art.
ABOUT CORBIN BRASHIER:
Corbin Brashear is a fiber artist and teacher who creates whimsical mixed media sculptures, masks and tapestries using found natural objects and needle-felted wool which she exhibits at fine art and craft shows around the Northwest. Her work is profoundly influenced by the rugged wilderness of her remote homestead in the Siskiyou Mountains of Southern Oregon. For the past 30 years, she has lived outdoors for a few months every summer, on enchanted land beside the South Fork of the Smith River. This time living close to the earth has allowed her to deepen her artistic expression and offers her the raw materials such as driftwood, kelp and lichen, with which to work. In addition to creating her own art, Corbin has made it her life's work to create opportunities for creative exploration for children. She has spent the last 30 plus years working to create programs to nurture and inspire the creative life of the children in her own community. She loves sharing the limitless freedom and potential of needle felting and has been facilitating needle felting workshops for 15 years both locally and at art retreats all over the West. Most recently, Corbin collaborated with a local animator, Deanna Morse, and a team of children to create a short film “Recipe for Birds” which has been shown at film festivals both internationally and here in Ashland at the Ashland Independent Film Festival. She runs a fiber arts program in the local schools, directs a children’s theater program called Kindness Matters and works as a naturalist educator, taking children exploring in the outdoors, at Pacifica, a Garden in the Siskiyou.
