Those passions remained as she added culinary skills in addition to becoming a professor of environmental science\, ecology and botany at Parkland College. She started Berries and Flour in Champaign as the synergy of several passions: culinary\, ecology\, growing of plants\, foraging and teaching people about the plentiful Midwest land.\nAnn Coddington utilizes a variety of ancient fiber techniques including twining\, looping\, and netting in her sculptural forms. Her work has been shown across the United States and internationally with recent exhibitions\, including currently at the McLean County Arts Center in Bloomington as well as recent shows at Gallery Jennings Kerr in New South Wales and Basketry Now at Textile Center in Minneapolis. Ann is a Professor of Art and Graduate Coordinator Emeritus from Eastern Illinois University. She received her MFA from the University of Illinois Sculpture Department\, and her BFA from the Colorado State University Fibers Department. She is active teaching sculptural twining workshops around the world\, recently at the Fibre Arts Australia and Fibre Arts New Zealand and this fall at the Penland School of Arts and Crafts. Coddington is an active member of the National Basketry Organization.\nAbout The Farms\nThe Farms: An Allerton Folk School\, offers classes\, workshops\, and gatherings focusing on art\, outdoor education\, science\, storytelling\, and wellness. All experiences value hands-on\, experiential teaching and learning\, and are facilitated by and for the members of the community.\nSee the complete Fall schedule here.\n
