Laura Marth
"I select material that best fits my concept. I love to create for the joy of losing myself in a process of invention."
With a love for life, family, and humor, Laura is a craftsman and a story teller. As a narrative artist, Laura has worked in a variety of mediums for over twenty years. The clarity of a story underlies most of her work.
Each Fleeceleaves item is hand-cut and machine-quilted using soft, beautifully colored pieces of fleece. Featuring the easiest of care instruction, simply machine wash and dry.
As a child, Laura played with her three siblings in an enclosed garden outside of Paris, learning how to invent a fantasy world from the world around her. She formally studied metals at Massachusetts College of Art, where she received her BFA, and received her MFA from Kent State University, where she studied with sculptor and metal smith Bruce Metcalf. It was at Kent State, in the quiet, timeless life of a graduate studio, where Laura returned to her own enclosed garden and developed a personal vocabulary that continues today in any medium.
