Instructor Bio:  

Tom Lundberg is professor emeritus in the Department of Art & Art History at Colorado State University. For forty years, Tom led CSU’s program in Fibers, where he mentored graduate students and taught courses in weaving, surface design, and mixed-media textiles. Tom has lectured and taught workshops throughout the United States and in England, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, and South Korea.

As an artist, Tom’s primary medium is embroidery. His stitched pictures often take familiar forms, such as of badges, swatches, and cuffs—shapes that follow the movement of people.  Tom is a student of textile history and finds inspiration in fabric traditions of ritual, mending, and comfort.

Tom’s works are exhibited internationally and are in collections including New York’s Museum of Art and Design; Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum; Arkansas Arts Center; Indianapolis Museum of Art; Racine Art Museum; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and State of New Mexico Art in Public Places.
