Sheila Shanti

Sheila Shanti is a textile artist and weaver whose practice spans teaching, collaboration, and community engagement. Known for her skill with traditional techniques, Shanti has shared her craft for nearly a decade, from conducting weaving workshops at Tango Zulu Imports in Port Gamble as early as 2016, to creating apparel and textiles for exhibition today. In 2024, she was one of our featured artists, where she demonstrated the use of a handheld Turkish Drop Spindle. Through her work, Shanti continues to celebrate the beauty and heritage of handwoven textiles while inspiring others to connect with the art of fiber.
