Textile Study Group: Weaving Tradition(s) in Western North Carolina

Allie Dudley (they/them) is a weaver and textile artist currently working as the Textiles & Natural Fibers Coordinator at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. A student of historical weaving techniques, their weaving takes many forms, including disparate media such as weft-faced tapestry and overshot coverlets. Allie will share their weaving lineage, their journey from beginning weaver to teacher, and the ways that the environment of the Southeast and beyond, local craft school histories, and their weaving traditions have influenced their work.
