Location: Connected Stitches Yarn & Fiber Shop (10 W Main Street in Dryden, NY (parking is available along Main Street, accessible parking is behind the building with a driveway entrance on North St)

Teacher: Zoe Gras, a fiber artist based in Ithaca, New York, has been creating since before she could read. Fiber became an intrinsic part of Gras’s life when she became chronically ill in 2021 and found it challenging to complete day-to-day activities, leading her to discover her love for fiber arts. Gras aims to use fiber and naturally found objects to explore how women and queer people interact with society. Important features of her work include symbolic imagery and utilizing a wide variety of materials including fiber and naturally found materials. Her art is not defined by one fiber technique, rather, Gras works with various fiber crafts, including knitting, spinning, weaving, and lacemaking to turn her ideas into reality. Through these qualities, she hopes to allow a wider audience to explore and understand her work. Gras is a graduate of Ithaca College with a BA in Music and a minor in Deaf Studies.
