Fiber artist and author Lorri Ann Scott magically transforms silk fabrics, ribbons
and garments into colorful and visually-striking works using shibori, resist, vat-dye
and dye-printing techniques. Lorri is a self-taught weaver, dyer and clothing
designer. In addition to her own book, Wayward Threads, her work has been
published in numerous juried shows and publications, including Altered Couture,
Quilting Arts, Spindle Shuttle & Dyepot and Belle Armoire Summer 2012,.
Lorri will bring some of her early handwoven/hand dyed garments and
accessories, talk about her dye work, and how she segued into creating upcycled
garments. She will also show some of the garments that she created for her book
“Wayward Threads: Techniques and Ideas for Upcycling Unloved or Discarded
Garment”.
Lorri’s latest work is focused on shibori, botanical, and rust dyeing. Her creations,
either made from dyed fabrics or discarded garments, are upcycled by
appliqueing dyed pieces onto them or overdyeing the garment itself. It’s been a
journey over many years, always exploring and
making new discoveries.
Lorri resides in the Santa Cruz Mountains outside Los Gatos, CA.
