Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mia Finnamore (Textile Center’s Communications Manager) is a lifelong crafter. A watercolorist for many years, the pandemic brought on a desire (and more time) to switch things up and explore different art forms, including weaving, collage, block printing on fabric, natural dyeing, pottery, and jewelry making. She finds comfort in the repetitive and tactile nature of pom pom making. Keeping the environment in mind, she sources her yarn secondhand from Textile Center’s Garage Sales. When it’s too cold to craft by the lakes near her home, she’s cozied up in her studio apartment with her furry “assistant” — her cat Blue.

Kim Hondel (Otsego, Minnesota) loves to do a variety of artwork, but hand stitching and mixed media art are her favorites. Her mother taught her to embroider at a young age in an attempt to teach her patience. It seemed to work because she continues to stitch today; she finds it therapeutic and relaxing. Mixed media art with an emphasis on paper and fabric combined (as well as stitching on both!) entered her life 20 years ago and has led her to take some courses to expand on techniques related to this type of art.

Coming from a family of artists and art professors, Angela Kneale (Wayzata, Minnesota), has understood art traditions while also embracing the medium of fiber art early on, enjoying and exploring the tactile experience of textiles and fibers. Angela’s decades of exploration of off-loom weaving, batik, knitting, and contemporary quilting have reinforced artist Georgia O’Keefe’s idea of “filling space beautifully.” This ideal concept readily transmits to functional art, promoting the celebration and enjoyment of art in everyday items. Art can be as simple as how one sets the table, as well as inviting gifting to others and allowing meaningful expression to all. Angela is also a teaching artist at Textile Center.

She became hooked on fish leather as a medium for ultra-thin, durable card and cash wallets that fit discretely in your pocket.

Theodore Stumpf (Saint Paul, Minnesota), was born on Halloween, so naturally costumes played a central role in his childhood. His mother taught him to sew when he was in elementary school on her aqua-blue Brother sewing machine. He discovered theater in his late teens and began creating costumes for local stage productions. In college, he studied all forms of fabric manipulation, including dyeing, patterning, construction, millinery, and design, and has been working professionally in the costume industry for 25 years. Theodore received the 2003, 2005, and 2006 Howard C. Payne Memorial Award for Innovation in Fiber from the Springwater Fiber Workshop in Washington, DC.

What began as a graduate school project has now resulted in his Artiste de Fibre line of signature zig zag vessels, made only from fabric and a lot of zig zag stitches of thread on the bias. His artist book provides the “how” behind the item. A relative’s gift of a wall covering made from vintage ties launched his creativity, and he added exquisite pillows and pouches from repurposed neckties into his Artiste de Fibre collection.
