Lynn Koolish

Lynn Koolish is a fiber artist, teacher, and author. She is most known for her bright colors of hand-dyed fabric and mixed-media fiber art. Based in Berkeley, CA, Lynn teaches online, throughout California, and nationally at venues including International Quilt Festival in Houston; Quilters Affair in Sisters, Oregon; and Road to California. 

In her current work, Lynn uses her hand-painted and hand-dyed fabrics to create improvisationally designed and pieced art quilts. In her work and her teaching, she always maintains a strong focus on applying basic design principles while maintaining the spontaneity of the improv process.

Lynn was an editor at C&T Publishing for almost 20 years, working on books ranging from art quilting, inkjet printing on fabric to traditional piecing, appliqué, embroidery, and more. She has written/co-written 5 books including Fast, Fun & Easy Fabric Dyeing, The Wonderful Colorful Wonder Wheel of Color (with Kerry Graham and Mary Wruck), Innovative Fabric Imagery for Quilts (with Cyndy Rymer), and More Photo Fun (with the Hewlett-Packard Company and Cyndy Rymer). All are available through her website lynnkoolish.com or at ctpub.com.
