We are thrilled to have found object fiber sculptor and art activist Rebecca McGee Tuck leading this workshop for us in conjunction with the Gather Fiber Symposium this April!
Join artist Rebecca McGee Tuck for a marine debris weaving workshop. In this hands-on experience, participants will learn weaving techniques to create their own unique pieces of sustainable fiber art. Each participant will take home their own finished woven artwork that promotes environmental awareness and positive impact. Come join me as we bend the rules of weaving and create a meaningful piece of art as we celebrate Earth Month!
Rebecca will provide weaving materials from her collection of scavenged sea trash and will loan each registered artist an individual lap loom for the duration of the workshop.
About
Rebecca McGee Tuck is a fiber artist, sculptor and dedicated ocean activist. Her artwork serves as a visual narrative, transforming discarded materials from our throw-away society into environmentally aware works of art. Tuck's collaborative project, Sculpture Monster: Creature from the Plasticine Era was featured in Fiber Art Now Magazine for receiving their grant for public art in Summer of 2024. Her work has been juried in exhibitions across the Northeast, including the Cape Cod Art Museum, Fitchburg Art Museum, Boston Sculptors Gallery, Viridian Artists Gallery in New York City, and the St. Botolph Club in Boston.
Tuck has held artist residencies at the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and the DNA Residency in Provincetown, MA. Her series, “Along the Wrack Line,” addresses the pressing issue of debris and plastic pollution on New England beaches, highlighting the environmental challenges faced by our coastal regions.
