    Shannon & Jason are textile artists, authors, and educators who have been inspiring makers to Embrace the Creative Chaos for over three decades. Based in Seattle, they specialize in sustainable textile practices including mending, Scrappy Wonky quilting, crochet, knitting, and Japanese heritage techniques like sashiko and boro. Their mission is simple: Creativity shouldn’t require expensive tools, perfect technique, or gatekeeping. With more than 15 published books and a global teaching practice, they’ve built a community of makers who believe that mending isn’t just about fixing what’s broken. It’s about extending the life of textiles we love, reducing waste, and finding beauty in the process. Shannon and Jason work as a true creative partnership, handling everything from design to photography to instruction. Their approach to teaching emphasizes accessibility, sustainability, and the freedom to create on your own terms. Shannon & Jason currently live in Seattle, Washington. shannonandjason.com/
