Talk:Karen Hampton (textile designer)

Untitled
I need the following changes made to the Karen Hampton (IN) page.

I am removing this reference to training with Ida because it is about another artist named Karen D Hampton (CA): "She apprenticed with Ida Grae, author of Nature's Colors and one of the original members of Baulines Craft Guild.[2]" should be removed.

The updated entry with additional references is below:

The reference to Batik "(stamping with copper tjap stamps)" was added after Batik because it was originally stated incorrectly as an additional technique in addition to Batik, but it is a actually one type of batik technique "stamping with copper tjap stamps"  "Tjap" was added because it is the name of the copper stamp.

The updated line below about being an internationally acclaimed artist and also producing wearable art was added and all came directly from this article, which is cited: "is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning fiber artist who creates spectacular works of art intended to hang on a wall. Additionally, Hampton produces "wearable art" including scarves and jackets." Local woman's creations range from quilted wall hangings to T-shirts June 16, 2011 Courier Press

"and produces digital/quilted art pieces." was added citing the following article:

"Surface design techniques provide the catalyst for producing her original fiber art." was added citing this website profile listing:

Additional information about Indiana Artisan was added citing this article and the Indiana Artisan website profile listing: "Hampton is an Indiana Artisan, an honorary title that distinguishes her as among the best juried artists and crafters representing the state."

Additional information added and cited: "She is continually taking workshops on quilting, wearable design and surface design to keep her work fresh. She enjoys the opportunity to test new design techniques as she produces original wall hangings and art quilts."

Correction of information to state that Karen does this Pojagi technique herself instead of it just hanging in her home was changed: In addition to quilting Hampton uses a variety of sewing techniques to produce wall hangings, such as Korean pojagi patchwork. Karen Hampton's website is hampton-studios.com for any additional clarification needed, and shows the Pojagi art.

This is the updated entry for Karen S Hampton's listing to post:

REQUEST EDIT
Information has been added to my profile that are another artists work. I am the fiber artist Karen S Hampton from Indianan. Works by Karen D Hampton from California keeps getting added to my page. Can someone please remove works and information that do not apply to me? All of my information/images are on HamptonArtStudios.com Could someone add S for a middle initial, and maybe the confusion will stop.

Copy and links to be removed: The artist's recent work has focused on the African-American experience, often combining transferred photographic images with weaving and embroidery.[4] Pins and Needles, from 2007, demonstrates her incorporation of image transfer into a hand-weaving.
