WEAVING WORKSHOP WEEKEND 2024 at LMRM, Chicago
by admin
In March 2024, LMRM (“loom room”) publicly launched their TC2 loom rental program. Since then, LMRM has hosted several loom authorization workshops, started multiple collaborative projects with artists, and supported over 15 weavers looking for continued independent access to a TC2 loom. To connect with the weaving community beyond Chicago, and to encourage collective experimentation and knowledge-sharing at the loom, LMRM is hosting its inaugural Weaving Workshop Weekend (WWW 2024) focused on digital weaving. The event takes place from October 4-6, 2024.
WWW 2024 is a condensed series of artist lectures and workshops on LMRM’s TC2 loom, accompanied by an exhibition showcasing the experimental practices of 4 artists whose work explores a variety of themes and weaving techniques. This will act as a celebration of LMRM’s first year of opening TC2 loom rentals to the public, as well as LMRM’s growing community in and out of Chicago.
