Sara Goodman is a textile artist with
a studio and school, House of Dreams,
in Lyme, New Hampshire. She has had
a lifelong interest in the resist dyeing
techniques of ikat and shibori. She
has traveled to Indonesia, Japan
and Guatemala to see first hand
this connection to traditional textile
techniques in the work of artisans from
around the world. These experiences
are reflected in her own work with a
contemporary flair. Vibrant, hand dyed
colors, complex weave structures
involving variations on doubleweave,
and experiments with the Fibonacci
sequence are the basic design elements
of Sara's work.
Sara's work has been featured in Handwoven and Shuttle Spindle and Dyepot magazines and at the Handweavers Guild of America fashion show at Convergence. Her one of a kind garments have won awards from Complex Weavers and The New England Weavers Seminar.
