Description
Founded in 1996 by Marisande Fisher, Radiant Hemp is a small, home-based fiber-art studio and business located north of Seattle, Washington. Marisande does most of the work, assisted by her circle of friends and family. Radiant Hemp started as a part-time hobby, when Marisande began playing around, doing experiments in dyeing hemp. She then developed and produced hand-dyed hemp twine products for a small hemp wholesale distribution company. When that company went out of business, Marisande went on to found Radiant Hemp. Marisande has over twenty years experience as a serious hobbyist; working with dyes and textiles, designing and making clothes and other items, and practicing tie-dye and other surface design techniques. In 1989, she received two bachelor's degrees from the University of Washington, in Studio Arts, and Writing. Many of the art classes she took were in the fiber arts department. This experience has given her a thorough grounding in working with fibers and color. At Radiant Hemp, we are constantly playing and experimenting to create new colors and to improve techniques. We work hard to grow a good business while maintaining balance and a sense of humor! We conduct our business with high ethical standards of honesty and fairness. We work hard to achieve the satisfaction of all our customers, and have, so far, managed to do succsessfully! Marisande says: "The things I especially enjoy about growing this business are the enjoyment I feel when my customers show me or tell me about the beautiful things they have made using Radiant Hemp! I feel I am contributing to art and beauty everywhere! I also am happy that Radiant Hemp contributes to the continuing effort to reclaim the many uses of the hemp plant in our country. "In my rare free moments I like to weave belts, make tassels, and do macrame or braiding with my Radiant Hemp." At Radiant Hemp We enjoy meeting and working with our customers! They are a very special group - creative, hard-working, fun-loving people who care about the environment, and making the world a better place for all of us. Do you have questions?
