Instructor:

Fiber artist Jennifer Fleischer is the owner and founder of Ibu Textiles, a line of woven products created in Nashville, TN. She designs and weaves each unique piece by hand. With the use of floor and frame looms, she blends traditional and experimental techniques. Her current work exhibits a strong design aesthetic inspired by Jennifer’s experiences seeking peace and calm in an urban environment. Traveling plays a vital role in her inspiration as well, as the brand’s name itself, Ibu, means ‘Mother’ in Indonesian. Originally from New York, Jennifer happily calls Nashville home with her husband, Nate, multiple plants and more yarn than she knows what to do with. You can find her work at IbuTextiles.com and on Instagram @Ibu_Textiles
