Woven Art's Home in East Lansing, Michigan
Woven Art is a unique and inviting yarn shop and fiber art gallery in downtown East Lansing, at the doorstep of Michigan State University. Our specialty is artisan yarns. We have our own line of hand-dyed and hand-painted yarns. We also carry handspun yarns, and yarns from small mills. Our large selection also includes yarns that are made from sustainable and environmentally friendly fibers, and yarns supported with great patterns and designs.

We got into this business because of a life long love of all things stringy, and an equal passion for sharing this love. We offer classes and workshops in knitting, crochet, weaving, dyeing, spinning and more. In addition to our own talented teaching staff, we bring in well-known instructors from both near and far.

The Gallery at Woven Art features regularly changing exhibits of FiberArt. Tapestry, Art Quilts, Wall hangings and Felt Sculpture have been shown, as well as apparel, including costumes and fashion. There is usually an artist reception at Woven Art during Lansing's First Sunday Gallery Walk.

Woven Art is a good place to get ideas for your next project, buy the best and most unusual yarn, and see exhibits of inspired and inspiring fiber art.

03.30.2009Mrylin Prucka to show at Woven Art
Hello, Nancy,
"Gathering Winds": I've been interested in the types of textures that a wind can make, whether real or imaginary. From the 'gathering' of windblown pine needles in a puddle to the craggy scars of an old riverbank Crack Willow. My new quilts are 'windblown' and abraded with ragged edges, cuts, burn holes (devore') and rough edge applique'. I'm handstitching more and more, the work becoming more intimate. Along with indigo I'm dyeing my discharged cloth with black walnut hulls that I harvested this Fall from my own trees.
This is a continuation of study, exploring further some discoveries I made in creating my most recent quilts for my exhibition, "Gatherings.
Opening Reception: Sunday April 5 from 1 to 4 p.m.
