New warp on the loom: midnight blue with a single silver thread every 40 picks. It’s for a runner I’m calling “Low Tide.”

The work
Featured piece
Field After Midnight
Woven after a string of late shifts. Jun let the silver stay sparse so it would read as distance, not decoration.
Read the pieceHow it’s made
Warped by hand on a floor loom. Indigo is fermented in a vat in the yard. A throw is two to three weeks. Nothing is printed to look woven.
The creator
Jun weaves at night, when the studio is quiet enough to hear the shed change.
Night Loom is wool and silk in colors that only show themselves after your eyes adjust. Jun learned the loom from a neighbor and never went back to a screen for the actual cloth.
The room is dark because the work is. Silver thread is the only thing that should flash.

Twice a year. I open a short list in spring; follow the shop and you’ll see the note go up.

Do you ever take commissions in a different colorway?
