Audrey Moore taught tapestry weaving for more than 50 years at our fiber arts school outside Portland, Oregon.  In 1967 she began spinning and weaving at the Damascus Pioneer Craft School and pursued Navajo-style techniques throughout the decades.  Upon her passing in 2020, we have continued her legacy and have named the school the Damascus Fiber Arts School.

She is best known for her series of colorful tapestries known as The Ladies.  The publication features 10 of her weavings, as well as 26 tapestry weavings from artists whom she taught and who considered Audrey their mentor.

In her honor I have created ‘Vessel of Love’, a three-dimensional dress of glass and waxed linen thread.  The rainbow of glass rods reflects the inclusiveness she radiated to all in her midst, while the waxed linen conveys the bond we share through her eternal presence.
