Barbara Zaretsky
“These handcrafted, contemporary, block-printed scarves, shawls and table runners are made with Peace Silk, plant dyes and textile paints. The simplicity of pattern and warm earth-toned palette evoke a sense of calm.
Each piece is unique. Fabric is dyed twice, often incorporating a clamp-resist technique to create pattern. Either hand embellishment or block printing adds another layer of surface design.”
Originally from the Chicago area, Barbara studied textile design at Northern Illinois University and the Art Institute of Chicago, and Art History at the University of Illinois. In 2001 she moved to Asheville, NC, became a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild and continued her education at Penland School of Crafts. Barbara has operated BZDesign, a textile design and manufacturing company, for over 20 years. In her line of home furnishings and wearable accessories, she incorporates organic and sustainable materials. Barbara is also the director of Cloth Fiber Workshop, a textile arts educational center, located in Asheville, NC.
