Instructor Bio: Linda Raether – Fiber Artist

Although a biologist by training, Linda has always dabbled in fiber: sewing, embroidery, quilting, cross-stitch, knitting, crochet are all a part of her life and her family history. When she stumbled onto rug hooking over a decade ago, she was instantly smitten. Currently, she teaches rug hooking classes, designs rug hooking kits and patterns, and hand-dyes most of the wool fibers she uses in her work. Her hand-hooked landscapes have been exhibited at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts, the Museum of Wisconsin Art, and the Center for Visual Arts.
