Louis area. Creating wearable crochet and knit items – purses, hats, scarves, ankle bracelets, tops and sweaters – you name it! Natural fibers are the go to when choosing yarn for a project which also includes hand spun yarns. Hand spun is a time consuming project – from cleaning the fleece, carding and spinning – a long process but dear to the heart and truly done by hand. Hooks and Mud is a different way of viewing how fiber arts can be created. Using recycled items to spark creativity, and inspire a diversified way of making old things new.
Artisan hand built pottery is another part of Hooks and Mud, it too inspired by nature, a mix of stoneware and low fire clay adorned with underglazes to form colorations and textures on a variety of usable shapes.
