Elizabeth has been making art-to-wear clothing and accessories since settling in Florida in the early 1980s. In 2013, Elizabeth joined a friend in opening Fab Fiber in Gulfport, where she taught traditional fiber arts, including spinning, weaving, dyeing, knitting, and sewing until its closing in March 2020. She has worked with museums, libraries, galleries, and parks throughout Florida as a living history presenter, telling stories, and giving workshops and received an individual artist grant from the Pinellas County Arts Council to further her work in field. For Florida’s Quintessential Celebration in 2013, she was awarded a Florida Humanities grant to offer lectures and workshops. Her artwork is exhibited at Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild shows, Florida CraftArt, the Morean Art Center, and Brenda McMahon Gallery.

All materials are included. Feel free to bring your own images or paper art to add to your creation.
