Each student will have the opportunity to create their own tapestry from a wide selection of naturally dyed cotton, wool, and locally sourced Carmel Valley alpaca. A small wooden dowel with be provided for hanging and displaying your piece at home. 

Refreshments and light bites will be offered throughout the workshop. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Jessica Bovert is a skilled textile artist and weaver who works on multi-shaft looms and makes tapestries, napkins, and cloths by hand from biodegradable yarns such as linen, hemp, cotton, and alpaca.

“Weaving is both a profound artistic expression and a personal sanctuary for me. Through a blend of traditional and experimental techniques, I aim to create pieces that awaken deep emotions within viewers through a vibrant interplay of color, texture, and pattern. I am fascinated by the rich cultural history of textiles and the often-overlooked story of how fibers are farmed and manufactured. My ultimate goal is to inspire a shift towards more conscious, intentional living and an increased appreciation for the power of art in cultivating personal growth.”
