In 2025, I had the pleasure of learning, exploring, and making work at the Textile Museum's Textile Lab in Tilburg. During this time, I programmed and operated industrial flatbed and circular knitting machines and assisted with projects in the knitting department.
Although my focus was on learning the craft and mastering programming, the lab environment naturally led me down a personal path of knitting research. A lot of inspiration came from translating pottery, clay work, sculpture, and beading into textiles. I developed methods of making structural pieces, and by becoming a more confident programmer, I created a 3-part collection of knitted objects. I have titled this work 𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒑𝒔 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒑 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒔.
