Welcome to Fibergarten Studio, home of Beth Leydon, designer and felter. Here, through the magic of soapy water and manual agitation, one of a kind wearable art and accesories are created.

About the Designer

Beth Leydon

Since childhood, Beth has been a maker and creator. In 2011 she was exposed to a simple felting technique and dove headlong into this ancient and ever evolving textile art form. She crafts one-of-a-kind pieces utilizing wet and “nuno” felting processes. Wool, yarn, silk and other fibers are transformed into functional and wearable art. Scarves, hats, slippers, vests, purses and decorative vessels are just a handful of items that she produces. She enjoys experimenting with hand dyeing and hunting thrift stores for garments to be repurposed. Locally sourced materials are utilized whenever possible. She offers classes and workshops at her home studio as well as community maker spaces.

I live, work and teach in Nevada County, CA so I'm thrilled to be a part of Art Works Gallery in Grass Valley. Over 30 local artists are represented in this artist owned co-op. Our region is one of California's Cultural Districts celebrating art in all its forms!

Visiting San Francisco? Where the winters are chilly and the summers are colder? Well you can find a selection of my felted wraps and accessories at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco within their beautiful Cha May Ching boutique.
