February 27 ↘
Weaving a creative life with Elizabeth Meiklejohn

Join us for a show and tell with textile engineer, researcher, and designer Elizabeth Meiklejohn on February 27th from 6—9pm.

The evening will feature a hands-on demonstration of Elizabeth’s source material—fabric samples, color tests, and tools—and a dynamic conversation that digs into the ways constraints, lingering, and exploration have shaped her creative practice, career, and life.

Elizabeth is a firm believer in the generative power of constraints. Her work probes the edges of possibility within the structured medium of weaving, where limitations—whether self-imposed or inherent—are leveraged to create innovative and delightful outcomes.

Her process-based experimentation has led to her role as the Textile Engineering Lead at unspun, where she is working with the world’s first 3D weaving technology for apparel.

Beyond the studio, her artistic approach offers a blueprint for living a creative life. By embracing the constraints of everyday life, we learn the rules that shape us and transform them into a trellis of possibility.
