Artist in Residence: Jessie English

Jessie joined ETIB as artist in residence in july and graduated from Pratt Institute School of Art and Design in New York a month earlier.

She is currently exploring the hacked knitting machines as well as the punchcard and the chunky machine and building up to her own swatch book. Her next step will be to knit wearable pieces, try new techniques & patterns and test out a range of yarns.

Jessie will be hosting small workshops during the makercamp experience from 8th August and dabbling in other fields being offered there by participants from around the world.

Hopefully she will be able to exhibit some of her pieces during the Weddinger Wundertüte festival 6.-7. September.

Looking forward to it!
