Member Artists

A Community of Artists, Makers & Teachers

The Handweavers Guild of Pueblo brings together accomplished artists, designers, craftspeople, teachers, and lifelong learners working across the fiber arts. Our members weave, spin, dye, felt, design, stitch, sculpt, and explore techniques both traditional and contemporary. Their work has earned awards, appeared in exhibitions, been shared through demonstrations and classes, and—just as importantly—continues to evolve as members learn from one another and from artists beyond our community.

A Life in Fiber

Kelley’s life in fiber began about forty years ago at the Estes Park Highland Games, where she wandered into a Boulder Handweavers Guild demonstration and never left the tent. The next day she went looking for a spinning wheel. Instead, she was wisely steered toward lessons, beginning years of classes in spinning, weaving, basketry, felting, dyeing, and other fiber arts.

A chance television story soon introduced her to spinning Angora rabbit fiber. She spent the next eighteen years rescuing Angoras and spinning their extraordinarily soft coats—and became locally known as the “Dog Hair Lady” for spinning pet fur on commission.

After moving to a ranch in Southern Colorado, rabbits gave way to Corriedale/CVM cross sheep and Colored Angora goats. Raising fiber animals gave Kelley an unusually direct relationship with her materials: growing the fiber, harvesting it, preparing it, dyeing it, spinning it—and discovering what it might become.

Crossing Boundaries

Kelley has always been drawn to traditional crafts and tactile materials. As a child, she and her shop-teacher father shared a fascination with the old ways of making documented in the Foxfire books. For years, she didn’t think of herself as an artist; she simply wanted to touch materials and make things with them.

Her work changed when she stopped treating techniques as separate disciplines. Wood met weaving, fiber met mosaic, and handmade paper became sculpture. Desert Schooner—combining a twisted tree branch, mosaic, handmade paper and light—was a turning point, opening the door to work unconstrained by a single medium.

Today her work moves freely among spinning, weaving, felting, basketry, handmade paper, embroidery, wire weaving and mixed-media sculpture. She is especially drawn to natural and discarded materials—stones, sticks, fossils, plants, copper wire and paper—and to discovering what happens when unlikely materials and processes meet.

Sharing & Learning

Kelley approaches teaching much as she approaches her own work: by sharing techniques, materials, and possibilities rather than asking students to reproduce a particular object. She has taught fiber and mixed-media arts in schools, guilds, craft stores, and community settings, with subjects ranging from spinning, weaving and felting to papermaking, natural dyeing, eco-printing and wire weaving.

She also gives programs and demonstrations, sharing traditional fiber skills with audiences at guilds, museums, schools—and occasionally unsuspecting people in doctors’ waiting rooms. She writes about fiber, craft, and the stories behind traditional techniques at SlowYarn.com, and sells her work at HomegrownArtworks.com.
