Praxis Donations for TC2 Loom

Make a Donation

So … this is huge. “Next-level” stuff, some might say! When we started our Digital Weaving Residency program in 2021 we knew it would be a hit – but seriously, the level of interest and demand has exceeded our wildest hopes!

Our bold vision – to position Praxis as a global textile residency and hub – has manifested in ONE whirlwind year, thanks to YOU. All Praxis friends, donors and partners were essential to these plans, whether through generous gifts or spreading the word and sharing a real passion for this art form. Thank you.

It has been almost surreal to experience such a response, and to meet, work alongside and befriend so many talented individuals. Highlights from the past year include:

• Welcomed artists of all experience levels, from across the U.S. (WA, OR, CA, TN, MA, PA, MI, IL, more) and 4 countries, to date

• Filled all 22 Digital Weaving Residencies offered (the next 22 are fully booked through June 2023, with a wait list)

• Packed our first In-Person Digital Weaving Class held in June, for those who have never tried a TC2 digital loom or want to deepen knowledge (the next one will be held in January and is almost full)

• Artists stay at our facility or in local Air BnBs, frequenting local businesses and enriching the Waterloo neighborhood and entire city

We are taking immediate steps to expand on these new programs, as there is clearly room to broaden our vision … to serve more artists … to share the of digital weaving …and to maximize another source of income for Praxis!

With that, I’m excited to share that we are raising funds to purchase a second TC2 digital loom! To do this, two very generous Praxis donors who share the vision are contributing $5,000 in matching funds to help jumpstart fundraising! Our goal for this Midsummer Loom Appeal is $30,000 and the first $5,000 raised will be matched, dollar-for-dollar!

TC2 looms offer state-of-the-art digital weaving technology, and as such they don’t come cheap! However, this $50,000 investment will pay for itself within just 1-2 years through increased fees for service (while supporting even more artists!).

We are all over the moon about putting Praxis (and Cleveland) on the map as THE digital weaving hub for North America – and one of only a few in the world! All gifts are generous to us, and through the purchase of a second loom you’ll be supporting:

• Increased residencies offered (and a decreased wait list)

• Increased class sizes

• Expanded teaching/delivery methods to suit a variety of needs and levels

• Service to more artists visiting Cleveland (many of whom will return for more…)

Thank you for helping us grow this exciting new program, and for making Praxis what it is today. Your trust in our operations and support for a special mission – to bring fiber education to the world – means the world.
