Joining the group of artists and artisans who offer their work at the Night Heron cooperative gallery in Vineyard Haven are four women who create unique items from a variety of materials, including leather, paper, textiles, and, thanks to the newest member, rope. The latter is provided by M-C Lamarre, who has created a line of baskets and bags made using off-white cotton rope for a fresh, contemporary look with a nod to the nautical.
“We are a dynamic group, all offering very different work,” says co-op member Kathleen Tackabury. “It’s exciting and invigorating to see so many different kinds of work and the way it’s all so individually created.”
