Current Board Members

President: Lori Bier
LLori has been sewing, knitting, crocheting, tatting, embroidering, macrame-ing, and weaving since grade school (quilting came later in life- in junior high). She considered a career in fabric design but played it safe and went into computing instead. Now after many decades, she is taking the path not traveled and spends her time painting silk with dyes and making belly dance costumes. She finds the Austin Fiber Artists group to be a perfect opportunity to continue learning fiber arts techniques. If you have any questions about our organization, or want to contact our President, just send an email to: President@AustinFiberArtists.org.
