undertakes commissions of woven art, ceremonial pieces, and industrial fabrics
for private and commercial clients.

A
variety of fibers are used in fabric designs. Silk is a favorite either on its
own or blended with rayon or wool. 100% cotton is used for a lightweight easy
care fabric, and recent work using bamboo fiber had produced the ultra soft
Bambu collection of knitted scarves. In addition Kara Taub Woven Fabric
Collection includes blankets, tableware, ponchos, large shawls, cushions, and
eye pillows.
