Wee Things Fiber Arts

Creating unique, natural toys for imaginative play.

​

It is often the little things in life that bring us the greatest delight, sometimes even without our knowing it. Children never think to question putting a small treasure in their pocket—a golden acorn cap, a bluejay feather, or a smooth beach stone—and find wonder in the simple pleasures of the natural world.

I opened the Wee Things Fiber Arts studio in 2014, inspired by my toddler’s endless curiosity and amazement in our natural environment. I had been working in the field of fine art as a curator and gallery manager, but as our family grew, it was clear that something needed to change; I was a maker by nature and motherhood gave me the excuse to indulge in my craft. 

 

Today, I design and create handmade toys, sewing kits, and fiber soft sculptures from my home studio. An eco-friendly practice, I use only natural materials and often feature up-cycled fabrics, such as gently used wool and cotton clothing. Each Wee Thing is a unique creation that goes through many iterations of design, fabrication, and detailing as I explore the object’s shape and individual character. Most designs also go through a key test phase with my two children!

I hope that my Wee Things will bring joy to your home and spread the infectious love of making.

 

Warmly,

-Rachel Beaupré, Designer and Founder
