Emily Carlquist
Art Therapist and Fiber Artist

Immerse yourself in the soothing art of weaving while exploring the powerful intersection of color theory and emotional wellbeing.

Emily was born and raised in the Southwest, surrounded by skilled quilters, crocheters, and weavers. Her weekends spent hiking in and around Navajo territory instilled a deep appreciation for handwoven creations from a young age. Emily moved to the Pacific Northwest to attend Fairhaven College, where she graduated with a degree titled "Women’s Empowerment: Community Development Through Fiber Arts."

This self-designed program allowed her to merge her passion for social justice with artistic expression.

She now teaches mixed media and fiber arts at Five Acre School, supporting the social-emotional wellbeing of children through creative expression and play.
