Learn + Weave Fund
Invest With Us
LMRM is run by and for a diverse group of artists, in a medium famously hard to access.
Access to digital weaving remains highly exclusive: most artists only learn it in select art schools, then face barriers that require traveling to a handful of residencies around the globe to continue. Because this craft rarely offers casual points of entry, artists are unlikely to encounter it without intentional invitation.
So we're raising funds to invite two ALAANA artists for every Visiting Artist Workshop in 2026!
Introducing our Learn + Weave Fund for ALAANA Artists, each scholarship package pairs one workshop seat with two rental sessions for six ALAANA artists, giving them time, space, and tools to put ideas into practice.
LMRM utilizes this lack of access as a tool to explore how we can share knowledge and invest in each other. Our mission is to build and sustain programs that broaden who gets to participate in digital weaving.
By donating, you’re not just funding workshop seats—you’re helping diversify the questions being asked within craft.
Build the next generation of digital weavers with us!

$600
(1)Learn + Weave Package
This comps one ALAANA artist to attend one workshop ($200/ticket) and two rental sessions ($400) on the TC2 loom.
This is the minimum exposure we believe for anyone to gain an introductory experience with the TC2 loom and its process.
This support emphasizes the importance of pairing continued education with experimentation.
$2000
(3)Learn + Weave Package
LMRM invites teaching artists to craft workshops and design experimental warps, inviting artists from all over the country with wide-ranging practices to teach advanced topics on digital weaving.
This amount places one ALAANA artist in each of our three 2026 Visiting Artist Workshops. This year, in our workshops we are exploring velvet construction ($200/ticket), painted weft ($400/ticket), and multi-weft color design ($200/ticket).
Additionally, it would also cover two rental sessions ($400) for each of those three artists to weave on the TC2 loom.
$3300
(3)TC2 Intensives
LMRM now offers a 3-Day TC2 Intensive designed to support artists in translating a specific idea into a piece woven at the TC2 loom. This provides close guidance for beginners and intermediate weavers looking to learn or refine their design process at the loom.
This amount places three ALAANA artists in our small group TC2 Intensive ($700/ticket) and also covers two rental sessions ($400) for each of those three artists to continue their explorations.
Individual instruction and project consultation is transformative when bolstering artists with greater autonomy to explore their ideas on complex equipment. This would be a deeply impactful investment in ALAANA artists who are new to digital weaving.
$4000
(6)Learn + Weave Package
LMRM invites leading artists and educators around the country to teach a wide range of topics in digital weaving. The community-building, networking, and topics available in these programs are unique even beyond what’s available in the universities many artists teach and learn in.
This crowdfund strives to address the high technical and financial barriers that contribute to the underrepresentation of ALAANA perspectives in textile art spaces.
This amount guarantees two ALAANA artists a spot in each of our three Visiting Artist Workshops we have scheduled for 2026. Let’s blow past this number!
