The Ocean Weavery LAB
The Research Lab of the Oceanweaver is an interdisciplinary design studio and creative think tank that brings together experts from architecture, design, anthropology, art, and writing. Playful, explorative, and boundaryless in its approach, the lab thrives on collaboration to tackle complex projects, whether large-scale commissions or grassroots initiatives.
At its core, the lab seeks innovative solutions to some of today’s most urgent challenges: climate change, mass production, and the exploitation of both human and natural resources. By weaving together niche expertise and diverse perspectives, the focus is on regenerative practices and the use of local resources to strengthen infrastructure, preserve traditional knowledge, and ensure it continues to flow across generations.
First out were the Black Sheep Project and the Aware Project, where the lab bridges disciplines to explore space, storytelling, and materiality. This is a space where experimentation meets action, where ideas are transformed into tangible solutions, and where creativity is harnessed to support sustainable, meaningful outcomes for the world we inhabit.
OPEN CALL
Artist in Residence at the Ocean Weavery House
The Ocean Weavery House offers a serene artist-in-residence program set within a retreat-like environment. Here, artists, designers, and craftspeople can immerse themselves in creative practice, renting access to the digital handweaving loom—a unique tool for exploring contemporary weaving processes. Prior weaving experience is required to operate the loom; however, for those looking to expand their skills, I offer optional top-up lessons to help you navigate its intricacies. The Ocean Weavery House is also home to a remote weaving studio and retreat space, providing artists a nurturing environment to explore their work at the intersection of tradition, technology, and artistic expression.
