MY WEAVING PRACTICE

I began weaving on my grandmother Max's old four shaft loom. The loom had been sitting in my parents' garage for decades and was beginning to deteriorate when I learned about it. My parents agreed that if I learned how to use it, they would help me repair it. They helped me replace the missing and damaged pieces, and I've been weaving ever since.

Weaving connects me with material reality, the tangible world, centuries of cultural history, intergenerational tradition, and—at times—the land.

The practice of weaving is a reminder of the labor and resources embedded in every material good we use and touch. It also allows me to connect with the places, plants, and animals that have long offered us fiber and color for both utility and pleasure.

Each piece is handwoven and takes many hours to plan, measure, weave, finish, and wash. I source natural, secondhand, and imperfect fibers when possible and am experimenting with growing and foraging dyes from plants.

If you decide to purchase a piece from my shop, you will be supporting me in sustaining and deepening my weaving practice!

EDUCATION

I studied English and Society & Environmental Issues at the Ohio State University.

I studied Environmental Humanities at the University of Utah where I focused on the connections between craft, ecology, and community.
