Welcome to The Textile Anthropologist

A home for cloth, culture, and connection.

 

I’m so glad you’re here.

 

This space is where my lifelong passion for textiles meets my background in environmental anthropology—a place to explore the stories that live in thread, the rituals embedded in dress, and the ancestral wisdom woven into every stitch.

 

In the coming year, The Textile Anthropologist will grow into a vibrant ecosystem of offerings rooted in slow craft, cultural history, and textile learning.

 

Coming Soon:

 

• Digital Field Guides for regional dye and fiber plants 

• Courses & eBooks on textile traditions, ecologies, and meaning

• Workshops & Retreats that explore textile heritage hands-on

• Global Textile Tours—think grown-up study abroad

• Teaching Tools for fiber lovers and educators

• The Thread – a weekly Substack newsletter weaving together stories, techniques, and reflections

 

Whether you’re a weaver, a wanderer, a mender, or a maker—this space is for you. You’ll find resources to deepen your practice, products to enrich your learning, and inspiration to reconnect with the material world in a more grounded, intentional way.

 

Let’s explore what clothing can remember.
