Jennifer Johnson
Textile Artist, Weaver, Teacher
Jennifer’s creative desire is to take an idea or concept and bring that idea into physical reality.
Weaving is her passion, teaching is her gifting. Her adoration and appreciation of all things textiles is reflected in her broad experience of working threads – Hardanger embroidery, tatting, crewel, cross stitch, sewing, crochet, weaving, band weaving, button making.
A teacher at heart, Jennifer teaches new fiber artists of all ages. She thoroughly enjoys the creativity embodied in new artistans. There are few preconceived notions of what’s ‘right’ and thus, anything is possible!
Jennifer teaches at her studio, Fiber Maker Studio, in Greencastle. Additionally, she is found teaching at venues large and small (weaving guilds and fiber fairs to women’s church groups). Recently, she was invited to be the judge for the Gaslight Art Colony (Marshall, IL) “Fiber Art” juried show. As study group leader and past Board member for two weaving guilds, she stays connected to her colleagues. She is a workshop speaker on a wide range of weaving topics and thoroughly enjoys that ‘ah-ha!’ moment of learning something new.
