Fiber Arts

Maya's love of fiber began fairly recently, in 2023, but it quickly became her only passion second to writing. Fiber arts is an incredibly dynamic art form—as you can see, there's a huge world of different ways one can utilize fiber: spinning, dyeing wool & yarn, many methods of weaving, felting, knitting, crochet, and so much more. Maya continues to explore the vast world of fiber arts in her free time, learning as much as she can about the seemingly endless potential of the craft.
