Lore Wills-New Mexico

Handweaving loomed 36”sides 39” v-back plus fringe approximate. Fiber content: rayon and cotton chenille

A great holiday gift idea from Isadora. Lore Wills was born in Berlin, Germany. She now resides in New Mexico, where she weaves and teaches several of her students have become professional weavers. Lore studied weaving in Toronto; she has received several awards for her weaving.   Lore works with chenille yarns. Her Ruanas make a great addition to winter layering, yet are great for most climates as an evening wrap.   These pieces pack and travel well. A great splash of color for any wardrobe.

Cotton lace weave shawl

Cotton lace weave shawl

Lynn Smetko-Texas

Handwoven hand dyed silk 77”x20”+ fringe approximately

Original one of a kind shawl Fiber content: cotton hand dyed

Textile arts have always been a part of my life, but a trip to Santa Fe twelve years ago inspired me to learn Handweaving. Technology is a fascination of mine, and it is in weaving that I discovered how technology meets art. The design phase of my projects is accomplished on a computer with weaving software, which I then use on my computer-assisted AVL loom. My third passion is color, and dyeing is how I achieve my visions. I love to see how color works with structure: even the simplest patterns change dramatically when combined with multiple colors. Each of Lynn’s pieces is a one of a kind original hand crafted and hand dyed. Contact gallery to see other pieces by Lynn Smetko. We carry shawls and scarves, some pieces are hand beaded.

Euro Coat

Candiss Cole-Sedona, AZ

Felt weaving hand dyed  Size: Medium

Fiber content: silk and wool Hand crafted felt weaving an original numbered piece 5/5

Felt weaving is a new technique to Candiss she spent several months in Italy learning the technique. In six months Candiss produced enough fabric to make five jackets this is number 5 of 5. Contact the gallery about more pieces by this artist. A fifth Generation weaver, Candiss Cole’s Dutch ancestors worked in the felt mills of New England. He began knitting at an early age and looms were an integral part of the family environment. Candiss hand-dyes all of her warp yarns, one skein at a time, in a single spaghetti pot that she has been using for seventeen years.” There is no other way to do this. I can not get the color variation in large vats.” The dye sequence, dipping the skeins into the pot, rinsing and dying, is repeated with each color. After rinsing the silk in hot water, she wrings it through her prized Twentieth Century Maytag- one of her grandmother’s wedding gifts. Candiss now lives in Sedona and is inspired by the majesty of the red rock formations and the lush vegetation surrounding her home and studio, her designs display robust colors.
