Frequently Asked Questions
Maintaining Artwork
How do I clean my textile art?
Remove the artwork from the wall and while outdoors, sway from side to side to release any dust particles. Any dust that has gathered on the wood may be brushed away with a dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth or cleaning products, as dye may bleed.
Will the textile art stain my wall?
Similar to a new, unwashed garment that has been hand dyed, a transfer of color can happen. Thousands of dip dyed textile art pieces have hung on the studio's white walls without leaving any marks. However, if you were to rub the strands into your wall, you may see a mark on the wall or your fingers. You should carefully comb to separate the strands after hanging, but once situated, the textile artwork should not be touched.
What materials do you use for the textile art?
The walnut wood is sourced locally. The fiber strands are Lauren's signature line of 100% pure wool created by partnering with a small, eco-friendly ranch operation in Wyoming. The small ranch and local mill work together with Lauren and as a group are committed to sound animal husbandry and sustainable agricultural practices. Various dyes, dilluted paints, and other staining liquids are used in the process of creating a CANVAS WITH MOVEMENT® tapestry.
