Biography

Born into an artistic family, Charissa Brock has worked in nearly every medium, from wood to clay and from glass to metal. It was not until she came across a bamboo field that she realized her true calling: fiber and three-dimensional forms. With bamboo as her main material, she uses weaving, basketry and sewing techniques to make her masterpieces. Brock was featured in the April 2008 issue of AmericanStyle.
