About Tabby
Tabby Studio is an open-ended weaving-focused residency opportunity.
Residents live on-site in a 1B1B apartment including a full kitchen connected to the weaving studio.
Instruction varies on the type of residency, from daily one-on-one lessons, to total independent studio time. This residency is meant to be tailored to each weaver, and it is our intention to accommodate diverse projects, artists, and goals. There is one resident per session.
