Lawrence Gallery Exhibit

Fiber Craft Art by Charlene Shipp

Born in Chicago, Resident Charlene Shipp comes from a family of fiber artists. Since the age of seven, she has enjoyed crafting, beginning with knitting, crochet, and cross-stitch. Since then, she has become self-taught in several types of embroidery, especially the rare ones: blackwork, hardanger, pulled thread, ribbon embroidery, and several others. Before retiring, she attended a seminar that made a lasting impression on her: that during retirement, a person should continue to "work, learn, and play." She immediately set to work to do just that!
