Motherloom Studios Handwoven Footstools & Pillows By Lisa & Cris Berry
For over 30 years, husband and wife, Lisa and Cris Berry of Motherloom Studios have created tapestry impressions of nature’s infinite textures and strived to share these creations with others.
Motherloom Studios creates handwoven tapestries featuring hand-dyed, hand-spun yarns. Lisa hand-dyes many of the yarns to achieve desired colors, making each tapestry truly unique. Wool, silk and cotton yarns from all over the world are selected to express the images and textures of the design.
One of the most rewarding challenges for Motherloom Studios is creating custom tapestries for their clients. Working from photographs of homes, vacation spots, or nature snapshots, the client becomes an important member of the creative team. Their feelings and reflections are essential to completing the finished tapestry. The finished product is an heirloom piece intended to be treasured for years to come.
Lisa Berry has been a full time professional tapestry artist since 1974. She has created work for numerous corporations around the world and also been commissioned for private collections including world-renown golfer Arnold Palmer, Edie Magnus with MSNBC and Amway Founder, Richard DeVos. She has been included in prestigious exhibitions such as the "International Textile Exhibition" in Manila, Philippines and the "Art in the Governor's Mansion" in Lansing, Michigan.
Cris Berry has been a partner of Motherloom Studios since its inception. Not only does he spend his days being a part of Motherloom, but he also is a practicing Architectural Designer of over 35 years. Berry’s projects have included nationally published custom homes, office furniture showrooms and renovation designs for Chicago’s Sears Tower.
Surrounded by a suburban landscape, Cris and Lisa have created an unexpected sanctuary for making art and gardening where they nurture flowers, fish, and herbs. In the studio, Lisa hand-dyes small batches of handspun yarns and weaves original designs inspired by their oasis. Cris demonstrates his remarkable woodworking skills in their workshop. Creating tapestry impressions of nature's infinite textures and sharing those creations with other art and nature lovers is their passion!
ABOUT THE ART Important: Our handwoven tapestries feature hand-dyed wool yarns with beautiful color variegations which change with every dye lot making each tapestry unique. These yarns are not 100% colorsafe; spot clean only with cold water and gentle soap. Pillows: filled with a cloth covered polyester fiberfill form, backed with upholstery quality fabric, and trimmed with braid or fringe. Upholstery fabric may be substituted according to manufacturer availability. Footstools, Ottomans, and Benches: filled with hi-density upholstery foam, and treated with CRAFTGARD for water/spot resistance. Gentle vacuuming is suggested.
