Corrina Hammond is a textile artist, educator, and weaver who creates everything from garments and household goods to rugs and wall hangings, incorporating materials such as cotton, linen, wool, reclaimed fabrics, and textile remnants. Corrina is dedicated to preserving and revitalizing historic weaving techniques and textile literacy. Over the past decade, she has built a handwoven textile career that bridges traditional craft, public engagement, and education. In 2022, she established a weaving studio equipped with five floor looms, creating a hub for learning, experimentation, and the sharing of textile knowledge.
Drawing inspiration from the often-overlooked tools and objects of domestic life, Corrina examines the cultural and historical significance of handmade textiles. Through weaving, she explores themes of mass production, consumerism, and the decline of traditional making skills, while emphasizing the connections between craft, identity, and place.
An active contributor to British Columbia’s arts sector, Corrina leads workshops, exhibitions, and collaborative projects with organizations including Earth Hand Gleaners for the Heart of the City Festival, the Western Front, the Museum of Vancouver, and the Polygon Gallery. Her rag rug weaving workshops transform worn textiles into functional objects while fostering conversations about memory, sustainability, and textile waste.
