Lizz Aston is a fibre-based artist, originally born in Toronto, Ontario. She has studied Textiles at the School of Crafts and Design, Sheridan College; and is currently an Artist-in-Residence in the Craft Department at Harbourfront Centre

In her work, Aston focuses on the making of concept-based fibre art and sculpture that has been developed with regards to both traditional and contemporary textile processes. Her work celebrates an appreciation for the tactile nature of her medium as she works to engage her ideas through an examination of process design and material subversion.
She is currently working to develop a series of ‘burn-pieces’ entitled Increasing Your Knot Vocabulary, in which she examines the residual histories and symbolism imbedded in knotting practices.
