Maker Faire Hudson Valley 2023
Helen Lord Art- Fiber
Home: New York, United States
I hand spin yarn made with all natural fibers sourced from small scale local and regional farmers. I specialize in alpaca and angora, but also have exotics such as buffalo and musk ox. I will have items for sale and will also do demonstrations.

Maker
Helen Lord
I currently live in Pearl River, New York. I am an ironworker professionally, but enjoy many different kinds of art as hobbies. I offer sustainably focused art- fiber art is one of them. My artistic style is to create through self expression while paying homage to the history of the process.

I process fiber by hand- the old way- and it is ancient human knowledge that is less common today. I try to preserve that in what I do
