Shreyasi Das' Charcoal Honeycomb

Shreyasi Das has lived in many places.

Born in the United States, she grew up in India before returning to America to study animation at college in New York.

Now, after working for six years with Sony, she has “settled down” for the first time and calls Burnaby home.

A digital artist in the film and animation industry, Das took a table-and-floor loom weaving workshop last year with Rosie Kerschbaumer at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts.

She was able to take home the loom when the Maillardville hub cancelled her second class due to the pandemic.

Using her past learning as well online resources, Das figured out how to make three weaving pieces, of which Charcoal Honeycomb — based on the honeycomb weaving pattern — is now on show at Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam) as part of its student, alumni, teacher and staff exhibit, which ends June 24.
