Alison Gauthier
Fiber Artist
“As part of the ‘slow fashion’ movement I select natural & sustainable fibre from suppliers that support best practices in the fibre industry. These good choices and my background in fashion & knit design help me to create pieces that will last a lifetime. My inspiration comes from colour and the language it speaks; bright and Passionate, deep and Moody, or the surprising combinations of colour often found in nature.
Sometimes I take my cues from the artwork I see around me whether it is abstract, realism or something in between. I love playing with colour! Seeing what happens when one merges in with another is like watching magic happen!”
Cozy, comfortable, casual & Fabulous!
Creating wearable art, using a knitting machine like a weaver uses a loom, intertwining texture, style, silhouette and purpose to express joy, warmth & caring is like making a wearable hug!
Let your ethos guide you, be thoughtful, make good choices and most of all… be happy!
