She studied weaving and surface design at Georgia State University, guild workshops, and craft schools. As a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, Geri combines her love of traditional processes with new techniques and technologies. She is a longtime teacher to both children and adults and exhibits her award-winning fiber art internationally. Geri recently finished a three-month residency at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts as part of the Appalachian Craft and Culture Fellowship.(b. 1945)SweetwaterSweetwaterSweetwaterGeri Forkner
