This residency is ideal for seasoned weavers who simply need time, space, and solitude to work on harness floor looms. Optional meetings with Kimberly including studio visits and family dinners are available upon request.

The Digital Residency gives experienced weavers access to a CompuDobby loom (16 harness, 36" wide) and/or TC2 loom (INSERT SPECS HERE).
This is considered an Independent Residency during our first year of offering this program, so residents should arrive with digital files ready to weave. It's recommended that Digital residents have experience weaving on a floor loom and / or a digital-based loom, and that TC2 residents have taken a class on file design + prep. *add Praxis plug here?
If you are interested in applying for an Independent Digital residency but do not have prior experience, and are unable to take the online class, be on the lookout for a Spring workshop offering of TC2 Design File Basics.
