November Artist of the Month

Ina Stess has a long history in fiber arts. At the present time she is mostly known for her weaving and for her knitted "cupcake" baby hats. As this month's artist, she is showcasing her embellishing skills. Ina does a line of jackets where she starts with the iconic jeans jacket. she then dives into her fabric stash and finds wonderful fabrics, usually unusual prints, to applique to the jacket's surfaces.
Ina has an excellent eye for style and balance. What was once a lowly work jacket becomes an item of art clothing that can go to chichi places with aplomb. Come by the co-op to check out her work as well as that of around forty other Sonoma County artists.
