Ally Kraus

I’m a visual artist, craftsperson, maker, and educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. My primary medium is fiber. I weave on hand looms, piece and sew cloth, dye fabric and yarn, and grow my own dye plants. I want to learn everything about everything and acquire all skills – goals which I will happily never achieve. I create textile compositions, often using tools and materials that I design, fabricate, or reimagine. In 2023, I founded a small business called Fiber Curious Club to share my tools with others, pass on skills through workshops, and build community through crafting events. My dream is to open my own textile school, but for now, you can catch me at pop-up sites across the Bay Area. I also have a studio at Alameda Artworks in San Jose.
