Jackie Thomas, Fibers Artist

Bowl...

Silk scarf...

Ms. Thomas has been a fibers artist for more than 40 years, she works most often with fabrics, yarns, fleece, and beads to create wall hangings, sculptural forms, dolls, fetishes, vessels, jewelry, and holiday ornaments.

Her education includes teaching and admnistration, as well as a Master's Degree in Double Weave from Kutztown University.

We currently carry some of Ms. Thomas' beautiful silk scarves, finely-crafted sculptural forms, and unique fetish dolls.

"We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving...and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing." ~Louisa May Alcott
