A course by Jen Duffin - Nova Mercury
Jen Duffin is a fiber artist based in Montreal, Québec. As a child, she loved making art, but didn’t make a career out of it until later in life—learning to weave mostly through online courses and lots of practice. For her, making art is more than a passion, it’s a way to heal and bring joy. Jen lives with chronic illness, and a lot of her inspiration comes from turning difficult experiences into something beautiful.
With more than 131K followers on Instagram, Jen has been featured in publications such as Be Creative and In Her Studio magazine, and she has been a guest on several podcasts. Her signature rainbow woven artwork was selected as a finalist in the Etsy Design Awards in 2019, winning the Canadian People’s Choice award.
