Luke Haynes

Teaches at Brooklyn Craft Company

Subverting the traditional quilting form by integrating modern concepts, Luke Haynes‘ art transforms the comfortably familiar into the visually evocative. Born and raised across the American South and with a formal training in art and architecture at Cooper Union, New York, Haynes continues to experiment with quilting art while exploring art and architecture across the globe.

A chance encounter with a box of fabric remnants sparked Mr. Haynes’ imagination. His first quilt, measuring 7′ x 10′, led him through years of experimentation and improvements over the 11 years that he has been quilting.  Further honing his style, Mr. Haynes developed a system to piece manageable parts into a larger whole, applying a modern design sense to a familiar process.
