Paige St-Pierre is a Seattle based Fiber Artist, Natural Dyer and Educator. Her wearable pieces and textile collages reflect the seasonality of her backyard dye garden and humanity’s long history of creative reuse.
Her current practice explores heritage textile techniques such as hand embroidery and machine stitching on paper and cloth as well as weaving and dyeing with plant derived materials.
With a background in education, St-Pierre teaches hands-on, experiential workshops where she helps students reconnect with nature and their own innate creativity.
She is a member of Surface Design Association, Fiber Arts Now and Plants & Colour.
She earned her Apparel Design Degree from Seattle Central College, Master in Teaching and Bachelor in French Language & Literature both from the University of Washington.
