Author of Color Your Cloth!
Award-winning artist Malka Dubrawksy presents a bold, modern take on dyeing, geared especially to quilters and fiber artists in Color Your Cloth. She’s whipped up a variety of easy patterning techniques—including resist, discharge, and overdyeing—for creating one-of-a-kind fabrics, as well as more than a dozen simple projects that use the vibrant cloth. We chatted with Malka for a sneak peek into her passions and what she absolutely can’t live without!
Hometown: Austin, Texas
In The Beginning: I’ve always worked as an artist, but a first I primarily made prints.

Lark Books' Quilt It Contest
It’s that time of year again. Cooler weather means snuggling up under that new quilt you’ve been working on all summer. To celebrate Fall and the art of quilting, Lark is holding a Quilt It! contest. This contest has a few goals, namely to encourage, inspire, and engage the awesome online quilt communities popping up everywhere, to celebrate some of our most favorite quilting books (past, present, and future), and, of course, to have some fun!
The contest will run from October 24th – January 5th. One Grand Prize winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to www.hancocks-paducah.com and 11 quilting books from the Lark collection. 4 Quilt Category winners will each receive 11 quilting books.

Lark Labs: A Clay Play Date with Shay Amber
Photos by Meagan Shirlen
Shay Amber, author of Ceramics for Beginners: Hand Building, showed us how to make the Espresso Cup project from her book. After a thoughtful demo, it was our turn to play. Artists of all ages filled our front lobby to try their hand at making their own cups. Once the basic coils were rolled, the forms started taking shape. Some started as dainty cups and turned into ice cream bowls, and others went all out, making plates, vases, and even lidded jars. (And yes, there was at least one cup-turned-ashtray.)
You can pick up your fired and glazed pieces at the next Lark Labs’ event, on Saturday, September 5th, from 1-3. See you there!

Lark Loves the Big Crafty
Ahh, the Big Crafty. Twice a year, the biggest and brightest stars of the indie craft world—including Lark employees, contributors, and authors—come to Asheville to set up shop and share their wares. This summer’s Big Crafty was bigger, and dare we say craftier than ever, with over a hundred vendors both inside and outside of Pack Place. Organizer Brandy Bourne calls it the “debutante ball of Asheville craftisans.” Here’s a little rundown of the event and some of the Lark talent we spotted in the crowds.
1. The Big Crafty! Handmade poster showing the paper doll logo.
2. Pack Place, the indoor and outdoor host site of the Big Crafty
3. Craft Vendors outside Pack Place.
4. So much to look at.
