About Us
A Verb for Keeping Warm was established by Kristine Vejar in 2004. Raised in the Midwest, Kristine learned as a young child how to knit and sew from her Grandmother. In 1996, Kristine moved to California to attend Mills College where she earned a BA in Art History.
As part of her studies Kristine traveled to India to study Indian Art and Architecture. She began to study with a group of nomadic camel herders, documenting their appliquéd and embroidered quilts, wall hangings, and clothing. In 2001, Kristine received the Fulbright to go back to India to continue her research with the nomadic camel herders. While there, she became close friends with a family of natural dyers and she hoped that one day she would be able to incorporate her love of natural dyes into her work.
A Verb for Keeping Warm incorporates Kristine’s love for fiber, community, and preservation of longstanding textile traditions.
