ABOUT SHARON CHANDLER CORRENTY

Sharon Chandler Correnty is an art educator based in Massachusetts. Her passion for teaching since 1979 is based on her endless energy cultivating her knowledge of all art genres. She is continuously embracing every technique and every medium to provide a well rounded creative arts program.

Over the past three years she has revisited her love of textiles. On an impulse she signed up for a Gathering of Stitches organized and hosted by Samantha Hoyt Lindgren and since then she has not stopped. The action of taking cloth and immersing it in a marigold plant  bath and then the process of cutting and machine stitching and best of all putting a slow sashiko stitch as a way to connect and develop a mindful Practice has kept her centered during these turbulent times. Her husband carefully curated and planted a dye garden and her love of natural fibers has influenced her own wardrobe. It has been so gratifying to drape on her own body and be a witness to what she calls sizeless and gender fluid clothing. She allows the fabric to guide her and her philosophy is that beautiful cloth should be worn. Even if you think you cut wrong or you have made a mistake, it is the problem solving and the results that makes that garment more interesting.
