Leah Adams creates distinctive fiber art with handmade felt. Inspired by textures observed in the everyday world, from leaded windows to roof shingles, each piece is at once sculptural, functional and whimsical.
Learning from methodical exploration and happy accidents, Leah feeds on ideas gathered from the small people working at her side, students in her workshops and accomplished artists working across the world. Leaving the doors to inspiration wide open, her art grows with each suggestion and comment made by those in her surroundings.
While much of the SpiderFelt catalog is intended to brighten living spaces, Leah derives special satisfaction from her unique pieces of wearable art. Merino fibers are blended with bamboo, silk, tencel and soysilk fibers to create soft fabrics with gentle drape and subtle sheen.
