About Marcy Johnson

Art is my career and I am in my Northwest studio every day. I have always been inspired by the visual simplicity of ethnic art. During the years after University, I dove into a full time fiber-arts career. Over the years and after extensive travel, I have expanded my interests, media and techniques.

My scarves are hand-woven using rayon bouclé and chenille in colors that complement the fashion colors of the Northwest. In my current jewelry, I individually cut each metal element and hand-pound them for texture. The patina and embellishment of the pieces allow them to be unique.

I have always found great energy from connecting with and exploring different cultures. I am excited about sharing these inspirational experiences through teaching and creating individual works of art. I feel I have come full circle and enjoy the seemingly endless stimulation I have developed for myself.

In 1974, I started the Weaving Works, a fiber arts supply store and school in the University District of Seattle. After 50 years of owning and operating the business and teaching classes, I closed the shop and school to have more time to be personally creative.
