Laura Tanzer
I am a sustainability artisan, entrepreneur, textile artist, clothing engineer, and educator. I work with textiles, sculpting wearable art for the body. I experiment with digital printing by printing my art photographs on textiles and using those prints as basis for creating wearable art for the body. I use raw materials such as vintage and dead stock - all are natural fiber materials, such as cotton, silk, linen. I create almost no waste and teach others how to do the same. My workshops are "small batch" - limited to less than 10 in person as well as online. That affords participants individual attention. I teach the skills for working with textiles, including, but not limited to sewing, handwork, pattern making, and draping.
