FIBER

Anna weaving on her floor loom using handspun yarn dyed with plants

Anna’s weavings and quilts are a true example of place based art, the patterns and designs she are inspired by landscapes and nature of the Colorado Plateau. Most materials used in her weavings are locally created and sourced. She uses wool from a local farm that raises heritage breed sheep and prides themselves on humane and sustainable practices, spins the wool into yarn on a traditional foot-powered spinning wheel, and uses plants grown in her dye garden or ethically foraged in the surrounding desert to achieve a spectrum of naturally dyed fiber for use in her work.

Her quilts use sustainable materials like hemp, organic cotton, and found fibers. Anna uses different techniques learned from her grandmother and quilt guild participation to showcase patterns.
