Mary Zicafoose is an American textile artist, weaver, and teacher who specializes in ikat, an ancient technique in which threads are wrapped, tied and resist-dyed before weaving. Zicafoose is the author of Ikat: The Essential Handbook to Weaving Resist-Dyed Cloth (2020).[2] Her works are part of private and public collections, including at least 16 embassies around the world as part of the U.S. Art in Embassies Program.[3][4]
