Truly one of my new favorite places on earth: Haystack Mountain School of Craft — aka adult summer camp for craft. Had the complete joy of doing the Square One fiber workshop with @john.fifieldperez and @emilysilverstudio. Shared meals, the best “loommates,” the most inspiring architecture and nature. To kick off, John had us warping before we fully grasped the cross — just trusting the process. We learned to figure it out with our hands before our heads. 80% of the workshop was setting up the floor loom. 20% was weaving. And a fair amount of just feeling for whether the tension was right — learning what “right” feels like before you have the language for it. That’s the know-how. A feeling you build, not one you’re told. We kept coming back to this question: what does making have to do with being human? The world isn’t just static objects. We’re wired to work with our hands, to turn raw material into something meaningful — and the world greets you differently once you’ve felt that. There are ways of being human some of us never get the chance to realize, a gift @haystack_school gives. Forever grateful to Andrew and Bosco from @arkdeerisle for the off-the-cuff recommendation that turned into the most magical, unexpected week. Deer Isle forever holds a special place in our family’s heart.

I'm still in awe of my time at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. I was lucky enough to attend John Fifield-Perez & Emily Silver's Square One workshop "Weave-aoke!" Square One has the unique conceit that you attend with zero working knowledge of your chosen medium. Over a short period attendees get a crash course in material exploration alongside other interested parties. I'm biased, but I think my weaving compatriots crushed it, as did our two amazing artist instructors. Emily and John had infinite patience, excitement, and good humor as we warped our yarn, set up our floor looms (truly, the hardest part), and set to work on our plain weaves. They were amazingly flexible, happily showing us additional techniques, and never tired of answering our questions. And karaoke, of course. 🕺 The creative energy was infectious across all the workshops. And the setting! The incredible architecture paired with the impeccable landscape allowed for both close connection through communal housing and shared meals with moments of solitude. What a dream to be one small part of its rich history.

This is a fully funded program with a GTA stipend of $16,000 per year. Applications are due February 1st 2026. https://www.kent.edu/art/graduate-programs The MFA in Textiles positions textile-making firmly within the contemporary art landscape while encouraging a transdisciplinary approach to studio practice.

Weaving Beyond the Binary at @haystack_school was a joy. Two weeks away from the world teaching weaving by the ocean is a gift. This was a special community of people—artists and scholars who are my colleagues, academics at the height of their fields exploring a new world, artist/educators/researchers moving through the early years of their careers, students at the beginning of their journey, and weavers following curiosity for the love of making all came together. Thank you for transcending hierarchy, and for your deep connection to one another. The community established in this space was incredible beyond words, and the work you produced in two weeks is nothing short of astounding. Thank you to @john.fifieldperez , studio assistant fellow, I could not have done this without you. It is a unique joy when a student becomes a colleague, thank you for that as well. Beyond it all, this was a space where queer people of many perspectives, bodies, and beings were able to come together and be our authentically queer selves. In a world that has become increasingly cruel we need these spaces more that ever. I am moved beyond words that queer people were radically and joyfully queer here. Thank you to @haystack_school for providing the platform. Much love to you all, divas 😘 #weavingbeyondthebinary #weaving #queerart #queerspace #divadeckeast #HaystackMountainSchoolOfCrafts #Hastack2025 #HaystackSchool #CraftSchoolExperience #MadeAtHaystack
