Amelia Greteman [MFA 2022, Furniture Design]

Amelia Greteman is a textile artist and designer based in Rhode Island. Her work consists of traditionally made quilts with a modern twist. She reinterprets classic quilt patterns and turns them into graphic compositions that showcase vibrant color schemes. Decorative in nature, Amelia’s quilts are designed to be hung on the wall and enjoyed as a piece of art. But sometimes she turns her pieces into functional objects, like throw pillows. Every step of her creative process is done by hand, including dying the fabric used to make her quilts. The process of quilting is deeply meditative for her and she finds joy in the slow, meticulous nature of the craft.
