TRISH LANGE
contact Trish
Trish designs her own patterns then weaves one of a kind garments, production
style, and has sold over 5000 pieces. Her passion for glamour, humor, and
nontraditional materials like plastic signage tape, bubble wrap, mylar, shopping
bags, etc. manifests itself into runway and competition ensembles. She began
recycling materials years before it became popular, even using the tiniest
handwoven scraps in original cards, books, and dolls. She has produced, exhibited,
and modeled in many fashion shows, also curated Wearable Expressions, a biennial
juried international show.
In
addition to winning several awards and participating in numerous gallery
exhibits, she has been featured in magazines, newspapers, four cable T.V.
shows, three movies, and two books of only her work. She loves teaching,
lecturing, and sharing her unique approach to clothing design for handweavers
and has done so nationally. Her love of textiles has led to experimenting
in related fiber techniques including discharge, contemporary felting,
surface design, and patchwork all in an effort to use up years of accumulated
materials.
