Welcome to Fiber Arts Festival Omaha 2024, where creativity knows no bounds and the world of fiber & textile arts awaits your exploration!

This year, in addition to our one-day vendor mart, I’m again offering a diverse array of workshops designed to inspire and ignite your passion for fiber arts. From the timeless craft of bookbinding to the intricate techniques of fabric manipulation, each workshop offers a unique opportunity to connect with traditional methods and unleash your creativity in exciting new ways.

Besides, the addition of a select number of non-fiber art related vendors, we’re also opening the vendor market up to Cottage Food Sellers!

So, join me and others as we embark on a journey of creativity and craftsmanship, starting with a workshop series on bookbinding. Explore the elegance of Japanese stab binding and the sophistication of French link stitch binding.  These hands-on sessions will guide you through the artistry of bookbinding, where each stitch tells a story and every page holds the promise of boundless creativity.

The exploration doesn't stop there. Dive into the fascinating world of fabric manipulation during my hands-on fabric manipulation workshops. Discover the art of smocking, where intricate patterns and textures come to life on fabric. Explore the dynamic techniques of fabric slashing, revealing hidden colors and textures in layered fabrics. And immerse yourself in the vibrant world of batik, where resist dyeing creates stunning patterns and designs.

And let's not forget about the captivating realm of textured paper. Delve into the Japanese techniques of Orizomegami and Momigami, where ordinary paper is transformed into works of art with intricate patterns and textures.

Whether you're a seasoned textile artist or a curious beginner, Fiber Arts Festival Omaha 2024 promises to inspire and delight. Spaces are limited, so don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from expert instructors, connect with fellow fiber enthusiasts, and let your creativity soar.

More fun to come!
