Fiber

Suzanne Halvorson is known for her luxurious double weave scarves. These scarves are multi-layers of the finest rayon, silk, and merino yarns available. Some are hand-painted warps, which make each scarf unique as the ribbons of color float on a chenille background. The technique which Suzanne has developed has been praised by Textile artist Jack Lenore Larsen, whose collection includes one of her creations.

Linda hand dyes silk and rayon scarves using many different techniques to create her designs. By direct application, tying, stamping, wrapping and clamping she seeks to make colorful and interesting wearable pieces of art.
Linda uses procion and acid dyes that are permanent and can be safely washed in cold water.
 

Carolynne designs and hand knits sweaters, jackets, hats, socks, and scarves for adults and children. She primarily uses natural fibers with a goal to create beautiful, colorful, and useful items.

Lynne creates woven, felted, and quilted bags, as well as appliqued fleece hats. Her fleece hats are warm, washable, and come in a variety of colors & sizes, both for children and adults.

Martina is a fiber artist, creating 3-dimensional weaving-felting fusions using reclaimed and recycled materials. She loves to create tapestries that are stories of the world around her – people she has met, places she has been, and things that make her smile.

Chris Gustin has been weaving for more than 50 years after discovering her love of fiber in a class in college. Environmental consciousness goes hand in glove with Chris’s drive to use her artistic nature and sense of color to create works of art, while educating the public on the joys of recycling. Her “recycled rugs” are woven from pre- and post-consumer textile waste, such as defective socks, upholstery selvedge, denim, and corduroy pants.
