A Connecticut native, Ashley Flagg has lived in various parts of New England, and most recently found herself living in Palo Alto, CA. A jack-of-all-trades by training, she has experience with a wide variety of mediums, such as painting, theatrical lighting design, pottery, spinning, weaving and writing. Most recently she has launched Artemisia Ink Studio Arts as a way to bring all of her various and sundry artistic enterprises together and also to showcase her hand-spun yarns and other fiber arts.

Ashley has a strong commitment to the art of making things with one's own hands that are both functional and beautiful, as well as ecologically sustainable. Many of her yarns are made from natural vegetable fibers, such as soy silk or bamboo, and whenever possible, fleeces are purchased directly from farmers. By making handspun yarns, she hopes to give others who enjoy the arts of knitting and crocheting the satisfaction of knowing that their projects are authentically hand-made at all levels. A descendant of the Mayflower Pilgrim spinner Priscilla Mullins, Ashley seeks to keep this ancient women's tradition alive as a dynamic and creative art in the 21st century.
