Artist, textile designer, and author Lena Corwin highlights the work of 100 talented and diverse American fiber artists in a new book for all who are inspired by weaving, quilting, dyeing, and other heritage techniques In Cloth, Lena Corwin spotlights American artists using (and reinventing) heritage techniques. The contributors represent a wide spectrum of age, gender, race, and locale; and their rooted ancestral influences are unique.
