Lana‘s Jewelry and Textile
ARTISAN NAME: Lana Potels
CREATIONS: Handmade clothing (blouses, home robes, pageboy hats, aprons), lavender sachets, Japanese Furoshiki wrapping, wine bottle bags
ARTIST’S STATEMENT: My creations are textile clothing and home items engaging with ideas of waste reduction, craft, and sustainable making. As a fashion designer, I use FabMo's high-end fabrics to transform discarded textiles into one-of-a-kind garments and other household items. Practically everything I am presenting at the art show are made with fabrics I found at FabMo
Throughout my life I always was a fabric-lover, that's why I became a volunteer at FabMo when the shop was located in Mountain View. Every time I visit FabMo and see fabric remnants, the ideas of new designs pop up in my head and my hands become itchy. That's how every piece of fabric at FabMo inspires me to create something unique.
