Bio: Marlien Henned has been weaving cedar bark and creating a variety of functional artwork for eight years. She learned the art of weaving cedar bark from a local Sequim artist. Marlien gathers her own cedar bark in summer and three to six months later processes it into strips, a very labor-intensive task, creating wall hangings, lamps, hats, container baskets, bags, pots, and more. She is influenced by her background in architecture, her love of native arts from around the world, and nature. She loves to hike on the beaches and in forests to gather the materials that she incorporates into her weaving. www.dangingcedararts.com
