Artist's Statement

I have been working in clay for almost 15 years and came to find my love for clay by taking a ceramics class to fulfill a diversity course for my business degrees.

The first time I put my hands in clay I experienced a connection that I have never felt before. At that moment I knew that this is what I was supposed to do in my working life.

Rug Hooking, Sheep rug hooking, Shaker Village rug hooking

Learn about traditional rug hooking and spinning with fiber artist Fran Decker. Join in on the fun and learn how these beautiful pieces are made. Fran’s work will be available for purchase at the Welcome Center.

Fran is a local fiber artist who was an artist in residence at Shaker Village for several years. Her concentration has been on the traditional art of rug hooking, where she combines her love of wool with the history of Shaker rug makers.

Currently, her series "From Sheep to Sheep" uses raw wool sheared at the Village from Rambouillet and Shetland sheep. She processes their fleece into yarn and then "hooks" the wool into images of the sheep that the fleece came from.
