Karen Hampton

Karen Hampton is an American fiber artist who creates works of art intended to hang on a wall, and "wearable art" including scarves and jackets.[1] Hampton develops her own fabrics using various surface design techniques that include batik (stamping with copper tjap stamps), rozome, silk-screening, breakdown screen printing, discharging and over dyeing, and felting. She also produces fabric using a "snow" dying technique[2] and produces digital/quilted art pieces.[3] In addition to quilting Hampton uses a variety of sewing techniques to produce wall hangings, such as Korean pojagi patchwork.[2] Hampton is an Indiana Artisan, an honorary title granted by juried artists and crafters representing the state.[1] She is also a member of the Studio Art Quilt Associates, Surface Design Association, and the International Quilt Association.[2]
