About the Artist. A sentence or short paragraph please. | Karin Persan is a hands on textile designer and maker, working from her store and studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn. She received her BFA in 2001 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she focused in Fiber and Material Studies. She formed her line “Better Than Jam” of printed clothing and accessories shortly after graduating, while teaching on the side. In early 2010 she opened a boutique of the same name, which grew to include a communal studio and workshop space. However the pandemic has forced a closing and it’s just a personal showroom and studio. |
