About The Artist
Sarah Parys • Omaha, NE
Fiber and Textiles - Homegoods • WHOLESALE AVAILABLE • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
My name is Sarah Parys, and I am a self-taught weaver/fiber artist out of Omaha, NE. I began weaving on a simple tapestry loom about 8 years ago and have steadily progressed to now working on a few different floor looms in my home studio. I love the process of weaving and of course the end results. Texture, balance, and pattern seem to be a recurring theme in my work. Whether it be decorative or functional, my work tends to add a sense of warmth and security that other mediums cannot achieve.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.My work is all handwoven on a few different looms I have in my home studio. My goal is to use all natural and sustainable fibers, which include cotton, wool, alpaca, hemp, bamboo and more. I measure out my warp, dress my loom, wind on, and begin the process of weaving using shuttles that essentially 'weaves' the fabric. Once the project is complete, it is cut from the loom, washed, and made into different items that include dishtowels, scarves, wall art and more. |
