Marilyn Clarke is a contemporary quilt and fibre artist living in Guelph, Ontario. Her work explores the use of both traditional and
improvisational techniques in cutting, appliqué, fabric use and quilting. The use of silk, metallic threads and free motion machine
stitching creates rich textures to enhance her designs. Her fibre bowls are created by molding layered pieces of fabric together with
heavy stitching and applying a design with the bowl. Marilyn is a member of the Royal City Quilter's Guild. Her work can be seen
during the Annual Fall Guelph Studio Tour or by appointment.
