Janna Maria first learned how to weave tapestry in 2008 during a two-year technical textile diploma program at Capilano University. She continued her studies in tapestry and natural dyeing while finishing her Fibres and Materials Practices degree at Concordia University, and in 2014 committed to weaving full time. Her subject matter is relationship and place-based, and her materials are consciously sourced wool Everlea Yarn which she dyes herself with plants.
