Sharing some of the MANY pieces recent Independent Resident, Mitchell Burleson, made here at Tabby!

Ondulé and indigo were technical themes of Mitchell’s residency, and we loved getting to watch his process unfold 💙

….

Mitchell Burleson is a southern artist with an interdisciplinary approach to weaving. His practice seeks to abstract the process of weaving in order to understand his connection to craft, family and culture. After receiving his BS in fashion and textile design from NC State University, Burleson continued his education at Haywood Community College, receiving an AAS in professional craft under Amy Putansu. Burleson is based in Lexington, KY pursuing his MFA in studio art at the University of Kentucky. Burleson was the 2025 winner of the Artfields Competition and Festival and has shown at the Mint Museum, The Folk Art Center, Artspace, and has upcoming exhibitions at the Living Arts and Science Center and Bolivar Gallery in Lexington. taken in Canton, North Carolina by @mitchellweaves
