About the Instructor Margaret Cogswell is a storyteller at heart. Over the course of her career, she has journeyed from weaving to ceramics, fabric collage, artist books, painting and paper-mache as a vehicle for her tales. Cloth, thread, paper, color and pattern have been constant connectors through the years. Her conviction that our greatest rewards often come from simple, everyday objects and moments is a recurring theme. Communicating with people through the objects she makes continues to be the primary and sustaining focus of her work. Margaret received her BA from Rhodes College.
