Leah Weinstein is Nelson based textile artist working primarily with quilts. Leah received her Diploma in Fine Art from Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design in 2001, and her BFA in 2008. After making her first quilt in 2001, quilts quickly became the focus of her work. Leah’s extensive travels eventually became her self-directed textile studies, which led her to study natural dyes and organic cotton in India with the company she co-founded, Tenfold Organic Textiles.
