Ally Kraus

Hi, I’m Ally! 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 or fabricate myself. My dream is to open my own textile school, but for now, you can catch me teaching workshops at my Micro Fiber School in San Jose, CA or at pop-up sites across the Bay Area.
