Meet Black Sheep Studio Cape Cod

Corinne   sold her first painting on the sidewalk in front of the Falmouth Artists   Guild when she was 18 yrs. old. Since   then, her artistic talents have been enriched by her studies of fine art at   the Massachusetts College of Art and the University of Georgia where she   earned a BA as well as a BS Ed. Her   formal education has taken her to Avignon, France where, on scholarship, she   studied Art surrounded by the beauty of Provence and she earned an MFA. While watercolor is her primary medium,   Corinne is also a fibre artist and at one time raised her own sheep for their   wool fleece. Fond memories of her own   small flock inspire her to use sheep as a main subject in many of her   paintings. 

Corinne is a member of the New England Watercolor Society,   The Falmouth Art Center, Cape Cod Museum of Art and the Cape Cod Spinning   Guild. 

Hand spinning wool, silk, cotton and angora. She weaves, knits and makes handmade felt with her handspun, natural dyed yarns. Many of these dyes are derived from dye plants grown in her own garden. With a goal to use historically authentic methods, Corinne uses a fermentation method to get indigo blue that was used by colonials here on Cape Cod. In order to keep these ancient methods alive and as well as the craft of dyeing, Corinne teaches natural dye workshops here on Cape Cod.
