Business name: Fibergarten
As a child, Beth was taught a variety of fiber arts and delighted in creating unique clothing and accessories. In 2011 she was exposed to a simple felting technique and dove headlong into this ancient and ever evolving textile art form. Simple tools and soapy water will transform wool, yarn, silk and other fibers into functional and wearable one-of-a-kind art.When asked what it is about felting that is so compelling to her, she responded, “It’s like finger painting with wool and silk, and then you get to wear or use what you’ve created! It’s also a very physical process - great exercise.” Scarves, hats, slippers, vests, purses and decorative vessels are just a handful of items that she produces.
