Studio letters

Notes from the loom.

You are invited to follow along my weaving journey. Over the next few months I’ll be designing, dyeing, and weaving to prepare for my next collection release, sharing progress and inspirations along the way. Sign up to receive studio letters by email with behind the scenes details about my process and upcoming updates.

I reflect on what it takes to craft an object that holds space and endures time.
