Megan Karlen

Megan Karlen is an award winning painter who loves bringing abstraction to textile art. Her specific focuses include limited-edition kitchen cloths and scarves. Megan’s work is inspired by the slow-art movement and the recognition that hand-made quality-conscious pieces bring with them an intrinsic feeling of satisfaction simply by having them around. Assisting beloved HD weaving instructor Tom Jipson during his final year of teaching, she continues to imbue the passion of his distinguished 46-year legacy into her own workshops. Megan resides in North Adams, MA, a turn-of-the-century textile mill town in the Berkshires. She's currently a student in the Hill Institute Master Weaver program.
