More about Gwendolyn

With various creative degrees and extensive experience in the creative industries, Gwendolyn is a passionate crafter. Weaving is her primary practice, but she also sews, dyes, spins, embroiders, and experiments in a number of other mediums. She is inspired by the colors, patterns, and imagery of nature and the environment, as well as by the weaving process and old textiles.
Whether she's teaching children or adults, she finds that it invigorates and inspires her. She is also passionate about the importance of art, craft and design in our society. She's particularly passionate about textile literacy, as she believes a greater understanding of the skills and processes that go into creating textiles is the key to solving ethical and sustainable issues within the textile industries.
She is currently working on plans to open a textile maker-space and education center, a haven of textile creativity and a community of textile enthusiasts.
