Laura Glazier is an artist who believes that everyone can follow his or her own dreams. She works with budding, experienced, and first-time students in her classes, teaching them to become proficient and competent knitters. As a graduate of the Moore College of Art with a degree in Fine Arts in Textile Design, with a minor in Jewelry Design, a Masters of Fine Arts from the RIT School of American Craftsman in Textile Design Laura wove her own cloth for many years. The extension to knitting she feels is another form of off-loom weaving, something that everyone can enjoy and master.

In 1986 Laura formed her own custom design jewelry company, Precious One. Working with the client’s ideas and wishes, Laura has designed many one-of-a-kind pieces that continue to win awards for their originality and quality. Designing knitwear patterns is now the extension of Laura’s skill as a weaver. Color, texture and design make it possible for each knitter to have their own custom-designed garment. Laura will ply yarn to your specifications and using her patterns you will have your own individual, and with her techniques a perfectly tailored garment.

Recently, Laura has been commissioned by Vogue Knitting to design a pattern for a cashmere-beaded scarf. This design will be highlighted in the 2003 Fall Vogue Knitting magazine. Combining the beading and knitting is a further extension of Laura’s jewelry acumen and knitting design.
