The story behind the weaving

Terranova Handwovens was founded by me, Jennifer Anne Erickson, in 2013. Based in the Pacific Northwest, my goal is to make handmade goods for the home, using American-made materials and eco-friendly materials whenever possible.

My journey into the fiber arts began in 2009 when I began developing a weaving center within an arts program for folks living with disabilities in Portland, Oregon. During those four years I developed a weaving practice, but also explored natural dyeing, fiber processing, and even raising fiber goats and silk worms. I was trained in textile design and methods from some of the most talented weavers in Portland, Oregon, including the Oregon College of Art and Craft.

My vision is to share my love of locally-made handwoven treasures that celebrate the stories behind the items- telling the story of who spent hours crafting them before they made their way into the customers' hands and where the materials lived and were processed.

My goal is to emphasize the use of natural materials and traditional methods, resulting in timeless, contemporary fabrics for the home.
