Kirsten Liebl Fiber Show, Reception and Artist Talk

Whitcomb's Arts will host a reception for Kirsten Liebl on Friday, January 19 from 5 - 8 p.m.. An Artist Talk will take place at 6 p.m.. Kirsten's weavings are on display at the Gallery through January 27. The Gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday from 12 - 4 p.m..

Kirsten Liebl harvests wool from her own mixed-breed sheep to create the weavings on display at Whitcomb’s Gallery. The dyes are made from native plants that she cultivates on her farm, resulting in a blend of vibrant and muted colors. 

Kirsten’s weavings are just the most visible part of her work. Behind her art are years of horticulture training and a dedication to regenerative farming. She runs a farm outside Westport, with partner Taylor Lefleur, where the goal is to “utilize sheep to create an ecologically diverse system to produce high quality wool, wine and flora.” In the future, we will be able to stop at Wollecru for a bottle of wine, a cut of lamb and vegetables for dinner, a perennial to plant in the garden, or a beautiful woven blanket that will last a lifetime.
