Hi my name is Sydney! Welcome to my world of all things yarn and weaving!
I weave items both to bring joy to the world and for myself. My work examines the relationship between color and pattern. I draw inspiration from my years of studying art, ornithology, and marine biology. Each piece I create in my home studio pays tribute to a single creature’s unique beauty and story.
Weaving is my medium of choice because, in addition to designing new patterns and fields of color, the repetitive nature of crafting the work itself on my looms allows me to slip into a relaxed and yet focused state, with the motions establishing a rhythmic flow. I am constantly inspired by the beautiful colors and patterns in nature and the way those colors and patterns interact, and my work allows me to share some of that joy with others, and hopefully creates a space for others to slow down and reconnect with nature.
I primarily work with Tencel or Lyocell, an eco-friendly wood pulp yarn that is manufactured in a closed circuit loop, minimizing its environmental impact by reusing all water and using only non-toxic chemicals! Lyocell is a dream to dye, weave, and wear. It drapes softly, creating lightweight desirable wearables with luster and an eye-catching presence.
