BIO: Kathleen Adams Olsen, MA, is a fiber artist and mythologist with a deep passion for weaving nature into textiles. As the founder of Water’s Edge Fiber & Dye, she offers natural dye workshops, creates one-of-a-kind fiber art, and designs custom textiles inspired by the beauty of the natural world.
Kathleen infuses each piece she creates and every workshop she leads with a love for storytelling and the natural world. When she’s not experimenting in her studio, she’s often found walking along the water’s edge, drawing inspiration from the landscapes around her. Her workshops are designed to help participants reconnect with
nature, unlock their creativity, and discover the magic of botanical dyes. With a rich background in textile arts, Kathleen draws inspiration from years immersed in Norwegian culture, her work in textile and custom rug design, and the years she ran Messenger Rugs, a line of meditation rugs she designed and had hand-knotted in Nepal. Now, Kathleen combines her studies in Mythology and Depth Psychology with her extensive experience in textile design to enhance and deepen her natural dye workshops.
