Lauren's handwoven work is unified through a mission to create special one-of-a-kind wearable items in her zero waste studio. She is inspired by color theory, musical patterns and the play between negative and positive space. Her items are created with remnants and locally sourced fibers such as light, wearable cotton and wool from regional farms. After weaving, Lauren uses every part of the cloth to create various items. This process brings a large variety of sizes and price points to this artisan-made collection. Favorite items include meditation shawls, fanny packs, mending kits, upcycled denim jackets, and handwoven kaftan tops. Because they are always sustainably hand-created and one-of-a-kind, her work inspires fun and a celebration of individuality and creative self expression.
