Mobius refers to a one sided, continuous surface with twists, symbolizing infinity, unity, and interconnectedness. In this workshop, students will use pine needles to create a sculptural Mobius form through a unique and organic coiling process, resulting in a striking finished art piece to take home. The class will be taught by returning instructor Cory Ryan, who has previously taught pine needle coiling at Waterford. No prior experience is required, though some familiarity with pine needle coiling may be helpful. *Please note that coiling is a repetitive motion. *Class price includes materials fee. Cory Ryan I grew up in the Wyoming Valley near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. After graduating from King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Pa with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, I was employed by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in Clark Summit, Pa from 1973-1978. I married my husband, Jack Ryan, in 1973. We had two sons and now have four grandsons who live near us now in the Charlottesville/ Waynesboro area. In 1978, I moved to Richmond, VA to work for Dominion Energy (then VEPCO). I worked at Dominion until 2009 in the IT department, working initially as an application developer and retiring from a management position after 32 years of service. After retiring, my husband and I wanted to move closer to family in Charlottesville. We moved to Ruckersville in 2015. Art was always a hobby and my therapy from the stressful IT job. I started with folk art painting and beaded jewelry making. After retiring, I taught myself Quilling, the art of paper coiling.
