Rachel Meyers Hefferan

Rachel wove double weave with a chunky wool warp and one layer cotton. The texture was so amazing!

Weaving on: Collin
Joining us from: Fennville, Michigan

Tell us about yourself and what led you to the residency?

I first used a TC2 at SAIC in 2018 and was a resident at praxis in 2022. I'm a full time artist, while not all of my work is woven digitally - it's a fun tool to step away from and come back to with new ideas. 

Have you had any previous experience with Digital Weaving or Jacquard?

Yes

Any goals for the residency you'd like to share?

I'm hoping to weave a few different double weave techniques using wool from my sheep!
