Trunk Show Preview: Jessica Polzin's Quilted, Hand-Dyed And Silk-Screened Fiber Art

 

With the 3rd Ward Member Trunk Show happening this Thursday, we'll be giving you sneak peeks of some excellent, member-made work that will be on display. So without further ado, let's take a look at some fantastic fiber art from Jessica Polzin, who just joined 3rd Ward in January.

"Everything I make I prefer to create from the ground up, meaning, I make everything by hand and prefer materials to be in a more 'raw' state before I begin work on them," Polzin says. She'll be presenting a line of amazing hand-dyed, screen-printed and embroidered quilts, like the ones above, as well as hand-wozen and quilted bracelets, screen-printed table runners and a line of knit and woven box-top dipped hem t-shirts and pull-over boxey sweaters. Check out images of some of those after the jump.

Head over the Polzin's website to see more of her work, and remember to give her a warm 3rd Ward welcome when you stop by the trunk show on Thursday.
