About Lora:
My work is an evolution of my life experiences and values. With a desire to create pieces reflective of the calmness I feel when in nature. With a mission to live more sustainably I work only with repurposed textiles, prioritizing natural fibers.
From a young age I was drawn to textiles, watching my mom sew. I earned a Fashion Design Degree at TMU. Intrigued by the tactile quality of textiles and creating 3D objects. It was learning to basket coil in 2020 that I discovered the craft that fulfilled my needs.
My work is available at Craft Ontario.
