After almost 17 wonderful years as a fiber artist,

Kate Oates is now closed.

Patterns are still available for purchase as they are automated, as are virtual workshops and free tutorials but no pattern support is available.

I will be keeping my website (tutorials and workshops) live as long as purchases can cover the costs. Should you purchase a virtual workshop at any time (in past or future) I will figure out a way to make it available in perpetuity as promised before closing the website.

Despite the closure, thank you for stopping by, there are still loads of virtual products to shop from! If you are interested in hearing from me in the future, subscribe to my newsletter. I am still doing some teaching so the newsletters aren’t sent often but I do try to notify subscribers if there’s an opportunity to take a class. I truly love teaching and that’s one of the reasons I intend to continue creating tutorials and virtual workshops as my time allows. If you’d like to hear about these opportunities, subscribe or join my Discord Group.
