Hailing from the far northwest corner of Vermont, Eric likes analog mediums, the radio, dance music, and the theoretical. In their free time Eric spends time drafting patterns they will never weave, knitting samples for projects they will never finish, and researching ideas that will never come to fruition. It’s all building towards something, they’re not sure what yet.

In 2024, Eric graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts with a BFA in Graphic Design, with a minor in Craft/Material Studies during which they specialized in textiles and wood. They have taught classes in the command-line interface, quilting, screenprinting, and visible mending at VCUArts (Richmond, VA), Studio Two Three (Richmond, VA) and Berea College Student Craft (Berea, KY) where they were also the Student Craft Fellow in the Weaving Studio.
