JUDITH RODERICK
I touched upon the Batik process, wax
resist on cotton, while a Painting and
Design major at Carnegie Tech in the
1960’s, and that FIBER THREAD has run
throughout my life. I batiked for decades
and then silk painted concurrent with oil,
acrylic and watercolor painting, raising a
family, printmaking, photography, owning
Village Wools, teaching, a career in
Wearable Art, and retiring from all of those.
The cloth still calls, the dye on the silk is
still a magical way to express myself.
I am currently focused upon Cranes and
other birds, flora and fauna, and am
spiraling back to some earlier focuses of
quilts and Artist’s books. For more
