Meet Ilene

CRAFT CLUB STUDIO is owned by Ilene Moreno, a local Maplewood resident. She believes that crafting can be fun, relaxing, energizing, and community building, and something that everyone can enjoy.

Ilene holds a BFA in Textiles from The Rhode Island School of Design, where she studied a variety of fiber arts, including weaving, embroidery, printmaking, and fabric dying, as well as traditional fine arts such as painting and drawing.

Ilene’s current craft obsessions are needlepoint houseplant portraits and punch needle mug rugs.
