Mihills, Cheryl

June 9, 2017 by [email protected]

ARTISAN-SEAL
Landmark Artisan

Fiber/Textiles

Mihills creates original pictures using a miniature needle and a single strand of cotton thread producing a series of approximately 1200 loops and stitches per square inch. The technique creates intense detail, surface texture, depth, and a sense of motion.

The technique was used on a larger scale for punched rugs in the 1800s. It was also used on a smaller scale for folk costumes.

She will be demonstrating the technique on a miniature rug.
