The birch, oak and maple trees outside the weaver’s studio in winter inspired this abstract expression of their quiet beauty. These thick and sturdy, yet soft and absorbent handwoven towels will last and last.
Grand Rapids, Minnesota-based fiber artist Carol Rajala Johnson creates textiles as functional art, drawing from her background in mathematics and her Scandinavian heritage. Offering a delightful variety of handwoven towels, table linens and scarves in a range of patterns and colors. Created by one artist, one warp at a time. Handwoven, featuring hand-stitched hems. Carol creates textiles as functional art, tangible reminders of the beauty that surrounds and connects us. She is influenced by the language of patterns, drawing from her background in mathematics and her Nordic heritage, and is inspired by how handweaving challenges and engages both sides of the brain. Through her teaching, she has passed this enthusiasm on to another generation of weavers.
