Moonview Studio started the way most creative ventures do — with a question nobody had a practical answer for: what do we do with all this alpaca fleece?
What began as a small hobby farm in Camas, Washington grew into something unplanned. We learned to skirt and wash fleece, then to card and spin it. Spinning led to weaving. Weaving led to a loom in the living room, then two looms in the garage, then a proper studio.
Somewhere along the way, clay entered the picture. The ceramics started as vessels to hold flowers from the garden, but the craft took on its own life — hand-built vases decorated with floral transfers, bowls in rich glazes, sculptural pieces that are equal parts functional and whimsical.
Today, Moonview Studio is a working creative space where fibre arts, ceramics, and teaching all happen under one roof. Our alpacas graze the pasture out the studio window. The clay comes from the Pacific Northwest. The work is all done by hand — slowly, carefully, one piece at a time.
