About the Instructor

Antonia Price is a Sacramento-based fiber artist whose sculptural work uses natural fibers and traditional handcraft techniques such as knitting, crochet, and basketry. Her practice explores how loops, coils, and woven structures build dimensional surfaces and open forms. She has exhibited and taught workshops in Sacramento, Seattle, and Los Angeles, sharing approaches that expand traditional fiber techniques into contemporary sculptural practice.Community Standards
