About The Artist
Muffy Young • Waltham, MA
Clothing - Accessories • WHOLESALE AVAILABLE
Muffy Young has been a handweaver and dyer since 1978. Originally inspired by textiles and landscapes when traveling in South America at age 16, Muffy continues to be influenced by the colors and design elements of Peruvian and Guatemalan cloth, and draws inspiration from textiles and natural landscapes of Central Asia and Africa as well. She has won numerous show awards, including 3 ACC awards of excellence and her work is found in the collection of the Racine Art Museum. Hand dying her silk yarns gives Muffy a great deal of control over her color palette, and her 24 and 32 harness looms allow her to be extremely creative in terms of scale, texture and motif. Muffy's passion is to create pieces that are truly "wearable art:" beautiful to view and touch, and comfortably luxurious to wear.
