Mary Shemeta
Fiber Arts - Wearable
Mary Shemeta’s wearable work is made by combining needle felting, wet felting and Nuno felting. Heavily influenced by her love of nature and natural patterns you will frequently find leaf patterns, vines or flowers running the length of her garments. Using fibers that are biodegradable and up-cycled is important to her, and she uses a lot of wool, recycled Sari silk and silk yarns.
Mary has worked as a fiber and fabric artist since 1997. She hand-dyes various fabrics and fibers, and designs and sews clothing and other pieces. Mary has sold at Art Fairs all over the country. She is now inspired by the ability to create her own fabric from scratch via felting. Felting feeds her love of experimentation and each piece is unique.
