Claire Renaud

Juried Member Since 2011

As the second youngest of sixteen kids, all the girls sewed and as soon as I could reach the foot pedal, I was sewing too. Growing up with so many amazingly talented siblings was an incredible education and helped me become the designer I am today. I grew my love of sewing and creating things into a business, a costume shop that I owned and ran in Derry, NH for 35+ years. My art projects dip into and cross many mediums and materials, but I am especially passionate about giving new life to vintage materials. I love using old found metal in many of my pieces, adding them to many of my leather works.
