Shirley Eichten
Albrecht
Although she has been an innovative basket
maker since 1992, after moving to Sedona,
Shirley began creating new basket designs,
blending Raku with basketweaving to create
unique sculptures as well as using antlers and
gourds to create stunning wall hangings and
sculptures. Recognition of her art has won her
many awards. Recent national ones include having
one of her gourd sculptures named "Best Woven"
at the WovenWorks 08 show at the Fitton Center
for Creative Arts in Hamilton, Ohio and, in
August 2008 she was juried into the prestigious
National Fiber Arts Show at the Escondido Arts
Partnership, Escondido, CA.
After graduating
with an art and music degree from St. Cloud
State University, MN, she taught in Minnesota,
then Dallas, TX, during which time she developed
a freelance art business. After moving to St.
Louis, MO, she began designing and creating
baskets. She has taught numerous basketweaving
classes and has created and authored several
basket patterns. Shirley is a co-founder of the
Basketweaving Guild in Sedona, belongs to many
other basketry organizations, and is the
Director of the Sedona Arts Center Gallery. |
