Join us for a casual evening with Jason Pierson! We will have wine, light refreshments, and late night shopping while Jason shares more about his quilting and natural dying journey! Bring a friend and enjoy this free event!
“I make quilts by hand in the mountains of western North Carolina, on the ancestral lands of the Eastern Cherokee and Yuchi peoples, near Asheville: a hub for artists and creatives.
While I use a modern sewing machine, my work is all based on traditional piecing and patchwork quilting techniques. Each quilt is finished/bound by hand; I treasure this final opportunity to spend time with each piece before it heads out into the world.
A major focus of my making is on materials. I use organic GOTS-certified cotton fabric in a “greige” (less processed) form. Most of the colors in my work are from natural dyes, from plants harvested and foraged from nature by me. The batting I use (i.e., the “inside” of the quilt) is natural unbleached cotton; and my thread is organic GOTS-certified cotton. My quilts are completely plant-based, created in a cruelty-free vegan home.”
