Kathryn Clark - Minimalist "Articraft"

While taking the amazing-and-totally-overwhelming Blogging your Way class with Holly at Decor 8  (which I highly recommend!), I had the privilege to meet so many talented, creative and multifaceted people... A separate blog could just be dedicated to them & I am sure the energy it would generate would power up the whole planet! Very, very humbling...

One of the artists in the class is Kathryn Clark, a San Francisco based fiber artist. A lot of her work seems to be derived from traditional weaving and quilting techniques but she has a very minimalit approach which makes you look at them in a different way. I really love her esthetic and the simplicity of her pieces:







Kathryn likes to collaborate with other artists (some of the above pieces are from her Side Stitch  collaboration) and talks about it on her blog which you can visit here.  I can't wait to see the finished sketchbook that she's doing for The Sketchbook Project in which she'll include tiny weavings like this one:



Can you imagine a little book of those?? I already want to touch it..

She has a very inspiring blog  in which she focuses on "Articraft (...) artists who use craft and craftspeople who make art".  What's not to love about that...
