Illinois Prairie Weavers Presents The Weaving Mill: Art, Industry, Philanthropy

Illinois Prairie Weavers presents Emily Winter, co-founder of Chicago’s The Weaving Mill.  TWM is a rare entity in commercial weaving, artist-run, combining a small industrial weaving mill with artist residencies and small run productions, and community service.  TWM designs and makes fabric in collaboration with artists and designers, and aims to fill the space between the hand and industrially made. Its work with Envisions allows adults with learning disabilities to create weaving and sewing products. Emily will share her thoughts on TWM, its projects and the ethos of the business.

Meetings subject to change. For information, see our website: www.illinoisprairieweavers.org.
