Molly McLaughlin

Hand Woven Art

The unique beauty of Molly’s art lies in her ability to weave unusually fine silk and linen using intricate inlay techniques to create detailed imagery.

Keeping eco-friendly textile traditions alive is central to Molly’s work. Her process revolves around utilizing dyes she creates from the plants in her dye garden and finding ways of incorporating reclaimed or abandoned fibers into her work.

Creating more than just the woven image

Molly McLaughlin speaks about her work.

Many of the beautiful colors in Molly’s work come from her own natural dyes. She has been growing her own dye plants for a decade. Each fall, she harvests seeds from that year’s crop to replant in the spring.
