However, this Course May Not Be for You if . . .
While The Art of Wovens offers a thorough roadmap to creating and selling woven textile collections, it’s important to note what this course doesn’t cover:
Basic surface pattern design or creating repeating patterns. If you’re just starting out in surface design, you may want to take an introductory course in this field before enrolling.
Traditional weaving on handlooms. This course focuses on designing and styling woven collections for commercial production, not on learning the hands-on craft of weaving.
Deep technical training in weaving mechanics. While you’ll gain a foundational understanding of dobby and jacquard looms, the course doesn’t delve into the technicalities of loom operation or weave structure creation.
This course is not suitable for hobbyists seeking to explore personal weaving projects or individuals without a basic understanding of design software and artwork creation.

I can't wait to see you inside the Studio Intensive, where I'll be your Creative Director and your guide.
I’ve been where you are.
Wanting to get my artwork into markets I loved and onto products I dreamed of, but not having a way in. I chose to enter the market through the backdoor, as an in-house designer so that I could learn the ropes, get to work with the world's best companies, and get to know how the system--and the manufacturing process--worked like no other.Â
Fast-forward through a 30 year career and I've had incredible opportunities, built beautiful product lines, and continue to work in my own thriving design firm in these very markets, helping companies build fabric lines that sell.
Now, I want to help you do the same. I'm an open book and ready to share everything I know with the next generation of designers, knowing that when we open the door wide, creativity and innovation make their way in.Â
In The Art of Wovens, I’ll share not only the technical aspects of woven textile design but also the strategies that have helped me navigate and succeed in this competitive industry.
I'll be with you every step of the way. Pulling back the curtain and helping you to steer clear of distractions and things you don't need, so you can focus on elevating your designs to the next level.Â
Are you ready to start something incredible together?
Let's do this!
