Talia Lefton
Hi, I’m Talia Lefton, a fiber artist and teacher. Fiber art encompasses a broad category of art and craft that is made from cloth or other types of plant or animal fibers, such as wool from a sheep. Fiber art includes processes such as weaving, sewing, felting, embroidery, knitting, crochet, and many more. My favorite things to make are creatures, and vessels. I generally use cloth, wool, yarn, and found objects to convey ideas about storytelling, connections with nature, community, and interactivity. I do this through many processes including: felting, sewing, weaving, dyeing, embroidery, and knitting, depending on what I am trying to achieve, what use the item is intended for, what story I am telling.
