Clay Lohmann (born 1950) is an artist with a studio practice grounded in painting, who now uses a treadle sewing machine to create large-scale fabric installations.[1]

Clay Lohmann was born in Marfa, Texas. He grew up and attended the reservation school in Osage County, Oklahoma. Lohmann has a BFA in lithography from Wichita State University, with graduate hours in sculpture.

CamoCubes, a room-sized fabric installation curated by Danielle Knapp, was recently shown a the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene, Oregon.[2] Lohmann's first solo exhibition in Portland, Oregon, Treadle to the Metal, was held at The Portland Pataphysical Society (Pata PDX) in late 2015.[3] Earlier that year, Lohmann's work was included in a group show, Found/Made, at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, curated by Roderick Kiracofe.[4][5]
