The Experimental Weave Lab, (TEWL), is the City of London’s first contemporary, innovative, experimental textile weaving season. Curated by Philippa Brock and Elizabeth Ashdown, this six-month season supports an exciting programme of short and long-term weaving residencies, talks, workshops and outreach work culminating in a final exhibition throughout September 2022. The season will explore the experimental, sustainable and interstitial spaces that weavers work within throughout UK craft, research, art, design and industry.
Each resident will be tasked with pushing the boundaries of their practice within their time at the Lab, with the residencies being supported to enable all residents to be able to spend a prolonged period of time researching and developing both new and established approaches to their craft. In total, the Lab will be supporting 10 weavers working in a variety of on loom and off loom approaches.
The Experimental Weave Lab will connect with London based events throughout the programme, including London Craft Week.
