Abby Langdon
Abby Langdon is a textile artist with more than 15 years of experience creating fiber art in fun, innovative ways. Her career began on the indie craft show circuit in 2008 when she opened her business, abbydid, where she designed and produced plush creatures, mainly monsters, which now dwell (harmlessly) in homes around the world and have been featured in quite a few publications. This focus eventually evolved into 2D and 3D fiber art that appeared in gallery shows, art fairs, and commercially commissioned settings. Langdon's techniques and focus are ever-evolving, and now include a millinery business of handmade hats and accessories incorporating traditional techniques.
Throughout Abby Langdon’s time as
an artist, she has remained passionate about sharing her knowledge and
experience with the community. She has been teaching workshops in hand
and machine stitching to adults, teens, and kids for over a decade and has
enjoyed the mentoring relationships she has developed immensely. Having
fun, bringing a touch of lighthearted irreverence to the work, stoking the
creative fire within, and fostering community through art is of the utmost
importance to her.
At Clifton Cultural Arts Center, we believe that everyone has the right to access the arts and to express themselves.
