Lauren Prince has been exploring textiles in the arts for the past 10 years. She received her Certificate in Sculpture from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 2012, and her BFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2014. After graduating, she co-founded the artist collective Factory 418, where she continued her exploration of fiber and abstract weaving techniques. Lauren joined Camphill Soltane in 2014 and, in 2016, took on the role of leading the textiles studio. As the Entwine Shop Manager and Textile Leader, Lauren uses her fiber arts expertise to bolster inclusive community building alongside people with disabilities.
