Catie Kobland

Catie Kobland is a fiber artist and educator in Sunset Park. She teaches textile workshops at Brooklyn Creative Reuse, leading participants in transforming discarded t-shirts into yarn for crocheting and weaving.

Catie Kobland teaches fiber arts and textile craft as acts of witness and repair. A recent graduate of Syracuse University's master's program in Creative Art Therapy, she approaches creative practice as fundamentally democratic. Something available to everyone, not a rarified skill. At Brooklyn Creative Reuse in Sunset Park, she leads workshops transforming discarded t-shirts into yarn for crocheting, weaving, and braiding, turning textile waste into tactile objects. Her work carries a quiet insistence: that life's difficulties can be approached with imagination, that creativity lives in the everyday materials we discard, and that making something together is itself a form of healing.
