Heidi Wetzel

Heidi Wetzel is a local fiber artist and basket weaver.  She originally came from Germany as a teenager and now lives and weaves just outside of St. Michaels in Maryland.  She uses unique and indigenous materials, as well as materials she brings back from her many travels.

Her work ranges from traditional, sculptured, to contemporary.  She is often inspired by nature and her sculptures can serve as colorful and decorative highlights for a wall, or a table.  Some of her sculptures are utilitarian, while others are purely decorative.  With her wall hangings she tries to create “pictures” or scenes from nature.

Her work reflects the beauty she sees in the world around her and the natural surroundings here on the Eastern Shore.
