Artist Profile

Judy Zugish began experimenting with garden fibres in 1978. This soon led to an obsession for basketmaking and many years of pursuing technique with notable traditional weavers. Today, her contemporary works using gathered natural materials are exhibited widely. She teaches her signature style both at home and abroad. Studying basketry on trips to Japan, England, Germany, Thailand, Laos, and Australia has deepened a profound respect for the timeless content in basketry. The recently published 500 Baskets (Lark Books) includes one of her willow bark pieces and her fibre arts garden is featured in Landscaping with Herbs. Judy comments “My work is primarily about exploring the shapes and layers of materials. Using a wide mix of barks, vines and natural gatherings, I like to peel and extract their elements – to find and expose the character within.” https://www.jansenartcenter.org/events/judy-zugish-presentation/
