Samantha Wilde
November 13, 2025 - December 24, 2025
Samantha Wilde is a nationally juried freeform fiber artist creating
spontaneously, intuitively woven pieces charged with texture,
color and a sense of aliveness. Her pieces can be found in homes
across the country. She draws from her experiences as a mother,
writer, minister, yoga teacher, mentor, and healer to produce
delightfully colorful and intrinsically wild weaving. She roots her
work (and life) in upcycling—taking the mess and using it to make
something beautiful. She engages materials considered old,
outdated, ripped, or dated in the creation of new, useful, visually
compelling pieces.
A graduate of Smith College, Yale Divinity School, and the Kripalu
School of Yoga, she is mother to six children ranging in age from
2 to 19 years. Her studio is in Hadley, Massachusetts where she
has a small fiber farm and uses many different styles of looms to
create her work.
