“I find an ephemeral beauty in simplicity and time, imperfection and breathing space. It is an elusive beauty that I am always seeking and trying to capture in my work.”

-Stephanie Seal Brown

Stephanie Seal Brown grew up on an Oklahoma pecan farm, and she connects its quiet rhythms with her love for weaving. She acquired her first Swedish handloom in 1997, and later attended the Vavstuga Weaving School in Massachusetts to deepen her craft. She now lives in the Hudson Valley, where she maintains her bright and airy studio, drawing on centuries-old Scandinavian weaving traditions. A master weaver, Stephanie creates handwoven goods that reflect her devotion to thoughtful, process-driven work and natural materials. "By not automating the process, I'm able to be intimately involved with every step. Each inch of yarn passes through my hands multiple times as it is prepared and woven," she says. As a result, her designs carry a quiet integrity. Her patterns for Schumacher marry sophisticated refinement with laid-back, livable style perfect for spaces that emphasize tactile warmth and material authenticity.
