Teacher: Alyssa Welty

Alyssa Welty is a developing fiber artist who is enamored by hand crafts, sustainable making and building community through art. She is passionate about leaning into vulnerability through artistic expression, and embracing the imperfection in making. Allowing yourself to create without critique is a healing process and is infectious. Alyssa spins, dyes, knits, and sometimes dabbles in weaving and embroidery. She sources her fiber from U.S. based fiber farms, and often hand processes her fleeces. She loves being involved in every part of the process.
