Free-spirited farmer and fiber artist
My name is Courtney LaCaria and I am the farmer and fiber artist behind the company, Form and Function Creative. I live with my family on an alpaca farm that focuses on regenerative practices and provides the fleece that I spin into yarn and weave into fiber goodies. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the entire process from raising our alpaca to shearing them in the Spring and preparing their fleece.
Finding inspiration in nature and stories, Form and Function Creative reflects my love for art as both product and practice, creating fiber art that embodies the elements of joy, connection and gratitude. In addition to offering bohemian woven tapestries inspired by the seasons, I love to make functional accessories for the home, workspace or studio, and garden, including rugged totes and zippered pouches, handmade notebooks, wristlet keychains, mug rugs and plant coasters, bookmarks, and alpaca fiber nesting moons. I also create weaving kits and fiber packs available for the curious crafter.
I am a Workshop Instructor at Local Cloth, teaching beginning weaving classes that infuse mindfulness and meditation practices.
