Dearest Artist,
This month, we’re honoring the threads that bind us—literally and figuratively. As we explore the world of Sustainable Design, we’re spotlighting artists who stitch meaning into every fiber, reimagine tradition through innovation, and let softness speak with strength.
Textile and fiber-based art is having a moment—and rightfully so. From handwoven narratives to sculptural forms shaped by memory, these works prove that sustainable design isn’t just about materials—it’s about intention, identity, and the human touch.
May these artists inspire you to mend, weave, and build with care.
Warmly,
Jenn Hart
Here are a few artists from my hometown, Las Vegas, and my new home in the greater Philadelphia area that my team and I are currently crushing on. Their tactile approach to art—woven, stitched, sculpted, and sewn—celebrates texture, material, and meaning in all the right ways. From soft sculptures to wearable stories, their work threads beauty into every detail.
Philadelphia Creatives
@juiceboxworkshop - This artist uses repurposed textiles to create both wearable art and impressionistic landscapes.
@kleibrand - Kate Leibrand is known for her large-scale, repetitious patterns in her textile artwork.
@Hollyguertinart - Holly Guertin creates sculptural and textural wool/felt soft sculptures, often exploring the theme of "entwined".
Las Vegas Creatives
@iwouldratherknot - Macramé & fiber art in Vegas
@melissamillercurley - Melissa Miller Curley is a textile artist, quilt maker, sewing instructor based in Las Vegas.
