 | Artist: Art In The Wool
My unique wool shading technique allows me to create life-like artwork that can be cherished by the discerning collector for generations to come. I thrive on using color and texture in the creative process. My passion to capture the beauty, essence, emotion and uniqueness in each piece drives me to push the envelope and go beyond the rug hooking boundaries.

 | Artist: Audrey Henningson - Fiber Art
My work evolves from a life-long love of fibers and an appreciation for quality craftsmanship. Inspired by the world surrounding me, I use color, texture and space to continually explore new techniques. With a background in math, I approach design as a process of creative problem solving, giving attention to every detail.
For me the journey is as important as the final product and my artwear is constructed to give years of pleasure.

 | Artist: Bear Creek Paperworks
Leandra Spangler's passion for papermaking began in 1986 when she first plunged her hands into a vat of pulp. In the subsequent years, Leandra has explored numerous ways of making and using paper (handmade and found) as a medium in her creative artistic expressions.
Leandra Spangler's contemporary vessels are reed forms covered with highly textured handmade paper. She weaves the form as an armature for the application of highly textured handmade paper. A graphite emulsion which is polished by hand creates a luminous protective surface. Recently, Spangler has been adding color to the vessel surfaces. Her vessels are shown across the country at invitational and juried exhibitions.

 | Artist: Carly Stipe
As a contemporary fiber artist, I assemble sculptural garments from everyday items such as rubber bands, paper cones, tickets, envelopes, and dollar bills. My works comment both on being apart of a disposable society and the tradition of saving and reusing from previous generations.
Knowing that bags are the beginning to every outfit, I began assembling out of my usual materials. After many goes with latch hooking rubber bands and weaving tickets, I found duct tape to be the most inviting and secure.

Artist: Deborah Lacativa
As a fiber artist, I've learned what I know from trial and error. When I was seven I spent the summer with my Aunt Ellie in Massachusetts where she taught me to use her old factory model Singer without sewing my fingers together. Making things, building with fabric, became a passion.
In 2002 I began to combine my love of color and abstract painting with my fiber art - painting with fabric and sewing techniques. Everything I make these days is about exciting the eye and engaging the viewer with the drama of colors and shapes that hint at mystery, magic and sometimes the sly grin.

 | Artist: Dewberry Ridge
Dewberry Ridge was founded by my husband, Gary, and me in 2003. Deciding on a name was easy—our country home is located on a ridge, surrounded by the Bourbeuse River, and originally covered in wild Dewberries.

 | Artist: Hulda Bridgeman Design
We make each garment ourselves, in our studio in Spokane, Washington. Hulda Bridgeman Design began business in Roanoke, Virginia in 1973, moved to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho in 1981, and to Spokane in 1996. Ken joined the business in 1993.
Hulda begins by hand-dyeing different types of silk fabric with fiber-reactive dyes, in a resist process which can yield several shades and even different hues from a single immersion in the dyebath. Some fabrics are re-manipulated and re-dyed several times.

 | Artist: Kathleen Field
Having been raised by a strict, first-generation American mother and taught by the nuns, I obeyed every rule - as I did in my quilting – making over two thousand traditionally pieced quilts with a contemporary flavor from 1985 to 1993. A significant departure occurred in 1993 – I began a series of chair quilts - all styles of chairs, comprised of commercial fabrics on hand-dyed backgrounds. Many great painters of the past and present incorporate chairs in their work and it was this painterly quality that I wanted to evoke in fabric. In 1996, the College of Lake County commissioned me to make a large triptych (7'x21') of chairs for their new campus.

 | Artist: Kimono Designs
As more people come to appreciate the beauty and history of vintage textiles, these treasured fabrics are becoming increasingly scarce. Even for Japanese women of today, kimonos and obis have become family heirlooms, not everyday wear.
I enjoy fashioning them into hand-crafted jackets, handbags, scarves and neckties. It's my pleasure not just to recycle, but to resurrect these vintage works of fiber art to create unique, contemporary clothing designs especially for you.

Artist: Rebel Quilter
Using hand-dyed silks, high quality cottons and various mongrel fabrics, such as glistening metallics, my assemblages are layered and quilted using the tricky technique of freehand, freemotion machine quilting. The bulls-eye motif has become the foundation for most of my work—a universal symbol that is perfect for corporate, hospitality, public, healthcare and residential environments.
The colors I am drawn to are saturated and rich—seldom the combinations found in traditional quilts. My signature style has won many awards in fiber art exhibitions, multimedia exhibitions, as well as fine art festivals throughout the nation.
