​"Growing up in rural Germany, I developed a special bond with nature.
​I loved creating with seedpods, tree bark, twigs, vines and grasses and, to this day, still gather most of the materials that I incorporate in my work.​​"

     My technique - Thread Stories - is a process based on printing my photographs on fabric and creating a             realistic representation 
of the subject in thread using free form embroidery, quilting, appliqué and                         trapunto.The finished works range between one and three million stitches. As street photographer, my               travels to remote villages in third world countries, gathering images of individuals involved in the routine of       their daily lives, and documenting people on the streets of a busy cosmopolitan city allow me to create a           fabulous collection of images that are the basis of my fiber art. ​

SIGNE STUART

Picture
Picture
Picture
"Observations and questions about mysteries of the universe, life and consciousness are sources of visual ideas for my paintings and constructions.  Making these works is an ongoing process of negotiation and experimentation between ideas and materials.
I want my artworks to resonate with viewers and move them toward seeing this is that: everything as a consequence of endless shape-shifting, combining and recombining."

s.c. THAYER

Picture
"In working with pulp the challenge comes with wanting to make the fiber three-dimensional and transparent, leading me to using Japanese kozo and gampi fibers. These pulps are cooked, hammered, formed, and sometimes suspended allowing the viewer to move around the work, sensing the beauty of paper as it flows with the slightest current of air."

SCULPTURAL FELT AND FELTING SUPPLIES
"Wool felt is the oldest known textile and was made in its earliest days by simply using wool and water, and was then beaten
with sticks in order to tangle the wool fibers and turn them into fabric. My handmade sculptural felt is created mainly using wool
from Finn and Merino breeds of sheep, rainwater, and olive oil soap. I use various modern tools to agitate and tangle the wool,
as well as rubbing the wool with my hands to shape it."
