Hope Frasier


I've been in love with arts and crafts for as long as I can remember. I used to sketch throughout grade school and discovered painting in high school (I was class artist). In 1998, while on maternity leave, I became interested in cloth doll artistry. I started my first business, Hope Crafts, and traveled the country exhibiting at doll shows for 7 years. I never went back to my "real" job.

I have always loved the challenge of making something out of nothing. So when I saw a bowl by glass artist Dale Chihuly that looked similar to a piece of fabric that I had, I dove into my scraps to replicate it. Through trial and error, I developed a solution to harden fabric. I transitioned from doll making and Vessel Vixen was born in 2005.

Being self-taught with no formal training, I am driven by passion to do what I love. Recycling has become a way of life for me. I absolutely love turning trash into treasure!
