Alice Cappa

    As a fiber artist and writer, Alice enjoys mixing media and words, such as handmade paper or book-making with her stories. Her small "farmette" provides many natural materials to work with, including sheep who inspire spinning yarns - both fibrous and verbal. The writings have been developing into two series since the '80's. In one, to interest young people in the fiberarts, an illustrated story “by my lambs”, dramatizes the process from the sheep’s point of view. In the other, the enchanted land of the Summer Hills is expressed in "folktales" for adults.
