Sharing Stories, Tales and Garment Creations
Rachel Clark is an active PVQA member, fabric artist, teacher and lecturer who inherited a love of sewing from her great-grandmother. She has been designing wearable art since 1973 and teaching her unique and 
classy style characterized by eclectic fabric mixes, vibrant colors and stunning design since 1990. Rachel also has a keen sense of humor which is often reflected in her designs.
Whether her wearable art is whimsical or elegant or reflects her personal or political attitudes, it is always exceptionally well crafted; some designers focus on design and technical expertise can fall short, but Rachel is a seamstress par excellance in addition to being a gifted colorist and designer. She will be sharing stories and tales as well as recent garment creations and older favorites during her talk.
