Claire Zeisler' is an American fiber artist (1903 - 1991) who expanded the expressive qualities of knotted and braided threads.

She studied at the New Bauhaus in Chicago with Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and the Illinois Institute of Technology where she was taught by the Russian avant-garde sculptor Alexander Archipenko and the Chicago weaver Bea Swartchild. In the 1950s she created traditional loom weavings, but by 1962 she left the loom to make freestanding fiber sculptures.
