TextileFusion | Suzann Thompson's art, talks, exhibits, market, blog

Mission

The aim of TextileFusion is to elevate the appreciation of knitting and crochet as true art forms and as historically and culturally significant. Knitting and crochet offer us a connection to people, places, and stories of the past and present.

TextileFusion is Suzann Thompson’s signature art-making technique, combining knitting, crochet, quilting, and embellishment. Suzann seeks to heighten the artistic value of these needle arts, and in the process to honor crocheters and knitters, past and present.

Whether your goal is to learn about needlework as part of our heritage or as collectible art, discover how Suzann’s TextileFusion artworks, presentations, and exhibits can connect you to a community of shared interests, skills, and history.
