Patti Barker

Early fascination with fabric and fashion came from my seamstress mother. You might say fiber art is bound into my DNA. My felting journey began with a study of skin. Skin as a protective covering, and as an identifier, or a recorder of history. A study of animal skin, and human skin; leading to hybrids. All the while, intrigued with the way wearable art transforms its wearer. Nuno felt, hand-dyeing, needle felting, bead embroidery…all compliment the tactile and visual narratives of each piece of my wearable art.

Patti Barker is an award-winning felt wear designer, and teacher. She earned a BA degree in studio art with a concentration in fiber at Western Washington University. Patti lives in a sprawling farm house in Central Florida with her husband, Rex, and a pup named Buddy.
