Nicholas Cladis

Eastern Iowa Fiber & Dye Cooperative
2024-25 Project Grant

The Eastern Iowa Fiber and Dye Cooperative aims to encourage a communal, local approach to plant-based fiber and dye production and give paper, book, and textile artists a physical and spiritual resource for their work. In 2025, they will pilot a collaborative fiber and dye garden that distributes its harvest to co-op artists and provides public workshops and programming to the community. Nicholas Cladis will be working with Lilah Ward and Anna Geyer to see the co-op to fruition.
