The Digital Weaving Lab (DWL) launched in 2021 as a 2 week artist residency program adjacent to Praxis Fiber Workshop. Their mission is to provide access to a diverse and expanding audience of makers, artists, practitioners, researchers, and educators to the most advanced digital technology for hand weaving. Access to the DWL through this program is meant to advance an individuals’ practice by allowing for a supported and targeted engagement with the TC2 loom and the surrounding community of Praxis Fiber Workshop. This alumni exhibition celebrates the work created at Praxis during the first two seasons of residencies 2021-2022. The result is a comprehensive survey of the varying results possible using this tool as well as examples of innovation in concept, material and technique. Praxis is currently the only open residency program in North America where an artist can access this tool, and the demand exposes the need for even more access and the hunger for continued exploration in the field of contemporary textiles.
