Fiber artist Shelly Stokes formed Cedar Canyon Textiles in 1997 to establish a brand name for her line of hand-dyed fabric. In 2004, Cedar Canyon Textiles became an official distributor for Shiva Paintstiks, a wonderful, fiber-friendly paint product from Jack Richeson & Co. Shelly closed out her hand-dyed fabrics in 2005 to concentrate on the paintstik business.
