Fleur Woods Puts Art on Ground Cloth


Listen Later

“The Untamed Thread” is a new book from Fleur Woods.Close up of Summer Blooms by Fleur WoodsOur topic this week is needle art, our artist is Fleur Woods, and our sponsor is Avlea Folk Embroidery (avleafolkembroidery.com). Fleur started her career in the corporate arena to “see how the world works.” It worked by suppressing her creativity. She left the 9-to-5 world and dabbled in various art media as she tried to find what it was that allowed her to express what was in her mind. A conversation led her to needle and thread and she hasn’t quit since. Woods also just published her first book, The Untamed Thread, which is designed to provide a structure to help you discover your creative voice. Purchase it from your favorite bookseller and be sure to visit Fleur’s website and follow her social-media accounts. Also watch for an upcoming Fiber Talk live show with Fleur in which we’ll explore her art.–Beth and Gary
