Experimental Weaving Residency
The experimental weaving residency invites craftspeople to join our research lab for 12 weeks. Since the first residency in 2019, we have refined our program structure towards mutual benefit for both the weavers and the researchers involved. The outcomes of the residency have ranged from samples that demonstrate different approaches and forms of interactivity, to formal and informal publications and share craft practices, to dynamic exhibition pieces.
