About the Artist
Blue Feet Studio
Arrowsic Island, ME
Amy Smith works on noncomputerized 8-shaft floor looms — intriguing tools of wood and string, themselves simple yet sophisticated. Smith’s fine wearables are woven in Tencel, an eco-friendly fiber made from wood pulp (primarily eucalyptus) that yields a strong fine yarn with a natural luster that is a pleasure to weave. On the loom, Smith transforms it into textile with a marvelous hand and lovely drape – a pleasure to wear. The pieces are light enough to wear through the summer; yet soft for wrapping up in through the winter. Elegant for special occasions; yet delightful for every day. All Smith’s designs are worn by any gender.
