Ecologically Sustainable Handmade Textiles Earthbase Textiles is the place where my love for the earth and how we interact with it come together.
I am inspired by the ethereal beauty that connects humanity and the earth in a manner of sustainable evolution. Curiosity about the nature of humanity and how cultural evolution has shaped our connection (or disconnection) to the reality of the world is what fuels the concept of my work. Life's a mystery, and we are here to engage the earth with compassion and playful coexistence. Earthbase celeb
rates the importance of community based living and the values by which living arts and handicrafts can sustain a healthy existence. With a practice rooted in Slow Design, I like to use natural materials and age old techniques that awaken the senses. I gravitate toward natural dyeing, spinning, weaving, felting, knitting and crochet. My favorite fiber is cotton and if I had to pick my favorite technique it would be the surprising nature of ecoprinting. Earthbase is not only a place to come for fabulous fiber and textiles, you can also have your oldie-but-goodie clothing items revamped with our over-dying service and get one-on-one instruction for a variety of textile techniques. If you would like custom hand spun yarn for one of your projects, I can do that too!
