Stephanie Seal Brown

Stephanie Seal Brown is a master handweaver and textile designer based in New Yorkʼs Hudson Valley. She designs and produces her textiles on Swedish handlooms in her studio. By not automating the process, she is able to be intimately involved with every step. As each idea evolves, every inch of yarn passes through her hands multiple times as it is prepared and woven, with small changes and continuous iterations. Slowing down the process allows time for every aspect of the textiles—aesthetics, function, longevity, materials—to develop and find voice in the final design. At the Fall Market, she will be presenting both her handwoven linen tape trims and her design collaborations with Schumacher.
