Erin Sweeney

I first met Erin Sweeney through my good friend Margaret Gurney on a visit to New Hampshire where Erin lived at the time. . Her books contained so many elements that I enjoy - stitching and the use of unusual materials.

Erin Sweeney attended MassArt at Bennington College in Vermont and Maine College of Art in Portland. She also attended a workshop in altered books on a work-study scholarship at the Penland School of Crafts in Asheville, North Carolina. She is currently at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia Pennsylvania getting her Masters Degree.
