The woven way
From my dream space to yours. Join me in the studio for, The Woven Way, an intimate 1:1 or small group three day weaving workshop, where we will dive into the ways of the loom as I know them. I will walk folks through the entire process of warping and weaving on a rigid heddle loom, while sharing the spiritual ritual it has become to me. Weavers will choose between making either a large shawl or a top. All materials will be provided as well as a homemade meal each day.
The Woven way is rooted in connecting to our spiritual and earthly experiences via craft and creativity. A dedicated space to feed, awaken, court and strengthen our creative channels.
my why.
My relationship to weaving and creating in general has been a potent gift for metabolizing my life. Through my hands and prayer i have been on a journey of feeding the part of me that longs for belonging and story telling. My original intention many years ago when i started sharing art was to invoke the creative fire of anyone who felt open to being moved. Including myself. One doesn’t make art without transformation. Through the frustration and the bliss. It’s symbolic and literal. I have spent years following and tugging on the threads of interest as it pertains to my creative beckoning and that thread has led me into the creativity I will cultivate through mentorship and space holding. I am looking forward to the ways in which mentorship will stretch me as weaver and woman. Looking forward to what there is to be learned through connection to a community of makers.
