Judi has been sewing, designing and making art for 40 years, with a focus on using upcycled materials. She finds beauty in naturally aged patinas, especially rust, and the craftsmanship and history of vintage artifacts.

 

Judi’s mediums include encaustic painting (hot beeswax), Steampunk clothing made from old clothing and reclaimed textiles, and making succulent gardens out of reclaimed wood.

​

Teaching and empowering others to make things, is Judi’s joy. Guerilla Upcycled Sewing is Judi’s radical way of sewing without patterns using upcycled fabrics. Judi believes sewing should be fun instead intimidating or complicated, so she specialize in teaching beginner workshops at the Truckee Roundhouse Maker Space.
