Sue Muldoon
About
Sue divides her time between 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional work. She bounces back and forth between photography, web design and graphic design to seatweaving (chair caning, wicker repair, rush, splint, etc.) and basket weaving.
Basketry started as an add-on to seat weaving because there was material begging to be used in more than one format. She is a seatweaver by trade and a basketmaker by passion.
Sue’s career has always been creative, from wallpaper hanging and interior painting to a lengthy career in the floral industry as designer and merchandiser. Wood carving, furniture refinishing and upcycling furniture in novel ways using unique materials like leather belts, ties and alpaca wool set her apart from traditional seatweaving methods.
Color is rampant and unapologetic.
A frequent instructor at various sheep, wool and fiber festivals, furniture schools art retreats and farmers markets, she enjoys sharing seatweaving and basketmaking to new crafters and artisans. Virtual teaching has become part of her skills out of neccessity and adventure.

I will be teaching using hands-on techniques accompanied by full-color step-by-step printed instructions. I will also include a PowerPoint that has details and suggestions for further projects. I have 3 views to work with (front, overhead and side views) and will move around from each for the best experience.
Students may also choose to select which view works for them.
Printed materials will arrive with the kit .
