About
Joshua Black

My first experience with Fiber arts was being taught how to crochet and embroider at age 5 by my Grandmother Hughes. As I grew up on the mainland I explored many different art forms, none of which inspired me more then working with fiber and fabrics.

Then I moved to the Big Island of Hawai’i on July 2009, where I met the Aunties in Honoka’a, who had a fiber arts group that mainly does quilting. I learned from one Auntie how to Spin yarn and another how to do weaving, and when the Auntie I learned to weave from passed away, I inherited her collection of books on weaving which I learned everything I know about weaving. That’s when I found my passion for weaving, & other Fiber arts.

I now raise many fibers on my own property which can be bought on my site. I love weaving with other peoples left over yarn, that they don’t have a use for. From which I make a lot of one of a kind items that I sell. I also got major inspiration from growing orchids, where I designed enamel coated copper wire baskets using a fiber arts technique to make them,… Wire is basically yarn right..?

Now my fiber arts fund my addiction to Orchids as well as my addiction to Bonsai. I have also taken up bee keeping to help with pollination of my fruit trees and Cotton plants, 50% of all sales of bee products will go towards a LGBTQ Community farm and Homeless community: ‘A Rainbow Bridge of Helping Hands’
