About Our Textile Traditions....
Although Trembling Prairie Station wasn't formally founded until 1996, the textile traditions of the Murray family go back much further. Roberta has always been an artist of one sort or another. Her mother wrote the following passage in her baby book: "Very artistically able from the age of 2.", indicating an early natural ability for the visual arts.
In her youth Roberta pursued all types of artistic activities. She was especially interested in photography and holds a certificate in professional photography. She was first introduced to the fiber arts as a young child through her great grandmother who knit, crocheted, embroidered and painted fabric. "I remember playing with tubes of liquid color to draw on fabrics that used to be embroidered afterwards"
During high school she majored in art and was introduced to weaving and dyeing. Her family history includes a wealth of fiber artists: from knitters and weavers, to seamstresses and milliners. So when she began to spin, you could say that the skills were already in her blood.
