Gerri Calpin

Gerri Calpin acquired a love of manipulating and mixing different fabrics in an avant-garde method of piece work. This was the beginning of her Art to Wear. Her style took some years to develop into a lovely art cloth that she calls Fabric Architecture. To complete the design process for her clothing line, she found polymer clay was the medium she could use to fabricate buttons, buckles and beads in my studio, which led me to her jewelry line.
