Responses will be reviewed by Learning Center staff and kept strictly confidential. \n\nGynna Clemes received her first sewing machine at age 7\, and began designing and drafting patterns and sewing her own clothing during high school. She taught herself to knit during college\, and after college added weaving and spinning to her fiber journey. \nA mostly self-taught maker\, Gynna has a relaxed view on creating — there are many tips and tricks to learn but few steadfast rules. She enjoys learning from others and adding different views and tips to her arsenal. \nGynna’s latest clothing line — Hank and Momma Clothing — was born of necessity as an outlet to redefine and re-find herself after feeling lost under the role of being a new mother. Hank and Momma Clothing was truly the pivotal point in Gynna’s creative career. She’s passionate about creating comfy\, cozy clothing that instills confidence and promotes creative exploration for all. Today you can find Gynna’s clothing lines on her website GynnaMade.com and on FibershedMarketplace.com. \nGynna believes that anyone can learn to create a wardrobe that helps ground them and gives meaning to their lives\, wherever they are on their creative journey. \nRooted in smart fashion\, she is excited to share her experiences\, tips and tricks and creative process through her new SMART Fashion workshops. Smart fashion incorporates simple materials that actively regenerate textiles in daily life. \n\nSimple and sustainable\nMaterials that\nActively\nRegenerate\nTextiles\n\nRead Gynna’s story in Fibershed’s blog: fibershed.org/2022/07/06/a-handmade-zero-waste-wardrobe-for-mother-and-child-by-gynna-made/
