From today to November 17, Tiffin University’s Diane Kidd Gallery is featuring samples from Molly Fitzpatrick’s textile and design collection, “Shape and Color, Together in Rhythm.” The artist’s reception will be Friday, October 20 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the gallery, with an artist’s talk starting at 5:30. Light refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public.
Molly Fitzpatrick is an artist and fabric designer based in Cleveland. She received a BFA in fiber and material studies from the Cleveland Institute of Art. In 2015, she founded her sustainable textile brand, DittoHouse. According to Fitzpatrick, “Through the universal language of patterns, spaces that include engaging textiles are welcoming, memorable and conversation-starting.”
Fitzpatrick has an ongoing licensing relationship with American furniture brand CB2, and currently sells her home textiles to the MoMA design store in NYC and Nordstrom.
“The greatest privilege I ever had was my first job after college as a textile designer in a mill in North Carolina. Working daily in the mill, absorbing decades of experience from dedicated warpers, winders and weavers, learning to create a textile, was a foundational experience.”
