Custom Liturgical Textiles for Meaningful Worship
Rooted in a deep sense of the sacred, Christina Laberge creates custom liturgical textiles that reflect the identity, story, and spirit of each worship community she serves.
Working in close collaboration with churches and clergy, she designs and handcrafts vestments, paraments, and stoles. Her refined artistic processes use rich materials and thoughtful symbolism.
She creates each piece to support worship in a way that is both visually meaningful and enduring. So if you are ready for another option instead of ready-made liturgical items, then look no further!
Each piece is custom designed and crafted as an original work of art.

How We Work Together
Creating liturgical textiles is a collaborative and thoughtful process, shaped by your space, your community, and the rhythms of worship.
Conversation & Discernment
We begin with a conversation which can either in person or over Zoom. This helps me understand your space, your needs, and the symbolism that matters most. For larger projects, I visit your church to experience the space firsthand.
Design & Collaboration
From our conversation, I develop a concept design and curated material selections. Together, we refine the vision until it reflects both your community and the sacred meaning of the work.
Creation
Each piece is carefully crafted using high-quality materials and traditional techniques. The timeline varies by project, and I remain available for questions along the way.
Delivery & Installation
Finished pieces are delivered and installed with care. I ensure everything is prepared for use and provide guidance for ongoing care and stewardship.
