About Camisha Butler:
Camisha Butler is an Atlanta-based textile artist/educator. Her work is informed by Neo-Luddite philosophy and the act of preserving and promoting the traditional craft practices of the ancestors. A natural storyteller, she uses a colorful joyful aesthetic to communicate social commentary and autobiographical reflections through craft-based media such as weaving, applique, embroidery, and handbuilding pottery.
Threads of Change Workshop Series
Threads of Change explores the connection between nature and fiber design through large-scale installations that reveal how fiber arts tell stories, inspire change, and deepen our connection to the natural world.
To complement the exhibition, MODA will host hands-on workshops led by local artists, Kimani Johnson, Sayma Hossain, Camisha Butler, and Amanda Banks, whose work reflects these themes. Open to beginners and experienced makers alike, these workshops offer a chance to create, connect, and explore how fiber design can address environmental and social challenges.
Join us to discover how fiber design inspires creativity and change!
