Textile Art

Last week, we showed you the work in our collection by @tfortextile, so this week we thought we’d give some textile art resources that will hopefully inspire you all to seek out or make more fiber-related art.

Looking for inspiration? Check out another Wisconsin based textile artist Marianne Fairbanks by viewing her work here.

Cooped up and looking to cultivate a new skill? Check out this article where contemporary artists working in fibers give you some tips and tricks about trying your hand at embroidery.

Have you been spring cleaning lately? Here is a fun way to reuse old clothes and learn how to hand weave at the same time! 

Are you still looking for inspiration? Might I suggest checking out the work of Sheila Hicks. There are also a few videos worth checking out on her website that are intriguing glimpses into Hicks’ work and process.  

We hope these tactile resources help you relax and find new ways of expressing yourself and appreciating works of textile art. Join us next week for another UAG Care Package!
