50 : Erin Riley on becoming a weaver, establishing her artistic voice, how she fits into the weaving community and more!
<p>This week we are speaking with Erin Riley from Brooklyn, NY.</p> <p>Erin is a tapestry weaver who has dedicated her time and life to creating tapestries that portray different aspects of culture that are either overlooked or are difficult to confront. Since receiving her MFA from the Tyler School of Art she has done many solo and group exhibitions all over the country and the world and has received many awards. Her work often focuses on the darker side of our culture. A few of the subjects she has covered have been nude figures from pornography or selfies, drug paraphernalia, and mental illness. The tapestries she creates has evolved over time to showcase her skills as a weaver, but also her eye as a dedicated artist.</p> <p>We hope you enjoy our conversation as we talk to Erin about how she became a weaver, discovering and establishing her artistic voice, and how she feels she fits into the weaving community.</p> <p>Find Erin Online : <a href="https://erinmriley.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/erinmriley/">Instagram</a></p> <p>- -</p> <p>Join the Discord : <a href="https://professionalweaversociety.org/join-the-discord/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://professionalweaversociety.org/join-the-discord/</a></p> <p>- -</p> <p>Sponsored by : <a href="https://comfortclothweaving.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Comfortcloth Weaving LLC</a></p> <p>Read full show notes and resources at : <a href="https://professionalweaversociety.com/podcast" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://professionalweaversociety.com/podcast</a></p> <p>- -</p> <p>Sponsor the Podcast : <a href="https://professionalweaversociety.org/sponsor-the-podcast/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Become A Sponsor</a></p> <p>Support the Podcast : <a href="https://professionalweaversociety.org/support-the-podcast/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Become A Patron</a> (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=comforweavin-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=866ea550224b81e952f2e77d51057fc0&camp=1789&creative=9325" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop on Amazon</a>)</p> <p>Music by Rawhead The Wreckloose : <a href="https://rawheadthewreckloose.bandcamp.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rawheadthewreckloose.bandcamp.com/</a><br> Rawhead the Wreckloose's new album 'Cold Bill' : <a href="https://rawheadthewreckloose.bandcamp.com/album/cold-bill" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rawheadthewreckloose.bandcamp.com/album/cold-bill</a></p> <p>Intro Music : Guesthouse</p>

49 : Tommye Scanlin on how she came to be a weaving teacher, what inspires her tapestries, and the process of writing her books.
<p>This week we are talking with tapestry Weaver, Tommye Scanlin, who resides in the Southern Appalachian region.</p> <p>Tommye is an artist who observes and responds to her surroundings for inspiration. Her primary artistic medium is handwoven tapestry, an ancient method of working with fibers to create images. As she seeks images and ideas to interpret into tapestry she experiences her surroundings as closely as She can. Photographs, sketches, paintings, and writings all are part of the research she puts into her work.</p> <p>She has been living in the southern Appalachian mountains for most of her life and her surroundings are filled with the natural forms of woods, streams, and fields. Her eyes are frequently drawn to the myriad details of the landscape and many of her tapestries are based on aspects of those details, simplified and enlarged in a weaving.</p> <p>Tommye has also written two books on the topic of creating tapestry weavings: “The Nature of Things: Essays of a Tapestry Weaver” and her newest book “Tapestry Design Basics and Beyond: Planning and Weaving with Confidence.” Her passion for teaching others is infectious, and she is always learning new things to pass along to others. It is inspiring and we hope that you snag her books to read up on her awesome tapestry weavings.</p> <p>Find Tommye Online : <a href="https://www.scanlintapestry.com">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bittersweettapestrystudio/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3jGTeQ9">Buy The Nature of Things</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3xgWx4J">Buy Tapestry Design Basics and Beyond</a></p> <p>- -</p> <p>Join the Discord : <a href="https://professionalweaversociety.org/join-the-discord/">https://professionalweaversociety.org/join-the-discord/</a></p> <p>- -</p> <p>Sponsored by : <a href="https://comfortclothweaving.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Comfortcloth Weaving LLC</a></p> <p>Read full show notes and resources at : <a href="https://professionalweaversociety.com/podcast" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://professionalweaversociety.com/podcast</a></p> <p>- -</p> <p>Sponsor the Podcast : <a href="https://professionalweaversociety.org/sponsor-the-podcast/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Become A Sponsor</a></p> <p>Support the Podcast : <a href="https://professionalweaversociety.org/support-the-podcast/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Become A Patron</a> (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=comforweavin-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=866ea550224b81e952f2e77d51057fc0&camp=1789&creative=9325" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop on Amazon</a>)</p> <p>Music by Rawhead The Wreckloose : <a href="https://rawheadthewreckloose.bandcamp.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rawheadthewreckloose.bandcamp.com/</a><br> Rawhead the Wreckloose's new album 'Cold Bill' : <a href="https://rawheadthewreckloose.bandcamp.com/album/cold-bill" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rawheadthewreckloose.bandcamp.com/album/cold-bill</a></p> <p>Intro Music : Guesthouse</p>
