Barbara Spencer

Fiber artist Barbara Spencer creates artistic and practical coiled baskets using wool, cotton and synthetic yarns, and adorned with beads and semi-precious stones. She also uses the traditional basket coiling technique to make fanciful cactus “plants” and sets of fruit-inspired coasters. New baskets this year are earring “hangups” and “basket flowers” inspired by farmers' market sunflowers.

Her colorful hand-woven table rugs also make great holiday gifts: table-sized wool and cotton rugs designed for a centerpiece, flower arrangement, or hot mug. 

Barbara’s work can be seen from May to October at Charlene's Gallery Ten, located in Gills Rock, Door County.
