Alyse Schriefer

I’m Alyse and I grew up in the woods in Ohio and spent a lot of time outside amongst the trees as a
kid. I found my way into making originally via sewing, went on to study fashion and textiles in
college, and then moved to New York City and eventually Los Angeles prior to my arrival at the
Krenov School. I’ve always appreciated traditional craft and handmade objects – pieces which are
unique by the hand and the eye of the maker as opposed to so much mass production we see in
today’s world. I’m interested in redrawing connections with everyday objects, how we interact with
them, with one another, and with the earth. I feel so lucky to be among this community of
wonderfully dedicated teachers and peers.
