Longwood University Arts Calendar

Angela Eastman, the artist behind Flag Mountain Studio. At the heart of all of her work is a delight in materiality and a conviction that sharing the process of craft creates meaningful connections to histories of labor and place. Weaving is an underpinning of all the work that she does, whether it is making baskets and other crafts or teaching, and she loves the long history of connection to place that accompanies the craft of weaving.

Angela says, “For the last several years, I have been weaving baskets with foraged material, often invasive vines such as kudzu, wisteria, and honeysuckle. I am also cultivating five different varieties of basket willow plants on my land in the Piedmont of North Carolina.”

She also works sculpturally with metal, fibers, and found objects to create sculptures and installations that explore the intersections of industrial and natural material cultures.

There will be at artist talk open to the public on November 20th, with a weaving workshop, Friday November 21st from 10am to 1pm.
