Sarah Noggle

Sarah Noggle finds inspiration in the colors and textures driving across the country and at home in the hills and forests of southern Indiana. Watching children light up when a math problem is solved using fiber, thread and weaving has fed her decades long enthusiasm of teaching fiber arts. She is a textile conservator having hands on ancient wool tapestries, a collection of 16th century silk fragments and the Indiana 1954 Milan High School regional basketball winner’s banner. (Check out the movie “Hoosiers”).

Combining all of the above and in collaboration with LEAF and the Lotus World Music Festival she has co-curated textile shows , World Blues: Shades of Indigo, Seeing Red: World Textiles and Around the Body, Around the World. Everything we wear was once a raw fiber.
