FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR – BLACK LABEL KOLLECTIVE

ARTISAN . REBEL . SPACE TRANSLATOR

Samantha Black moves through the world with a deep reverence for materials and a refusal to let pattern become anonymous. She believes textiles and fine art are living languages, and her work restores their voice, soul, and authorship.

Samantha is an artist devoted to returning honesty and individuality to woven materials and textile pattern. Rejecting the flatness of mass-produced design, she begins every collection at the root—hand-drawn marks, thoughtful structure, and a living conversation with the natural world. Raised in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, she grew up reshaping spaces with her own hands, learning young how profoundly materials shape emotion and experience. With a background in the History of Art and Architecture and years spent curating fine art, she blends scholarship with old-world craftsmanship, merging pen-and-ink drawing, weaving philosophies, and modern tools to create textiles that feel storied and intentional.

Now working from her studio in the woods outside Seattle, alongside her son, Samantha continues her quiet rebellion: to make pattern personal again—felt, lived with, embodied, and impossible to ignore.
