In 2019, local visual and musical artist Greg Grease conducted a months-long residency with the apprentices in Textiles Lab. The residency culminated in the uniquely dynamic EARWAX X JUXTAPOSITION, a textile line inspired by jazz and the blues.

Through this residency, apprentices learned the fundamentals of sewing, and collaborated on all aspects of production from concept and design to printing, cutting, and sewing. JXTA’s relationship with Greg Grease has been long and fruitful, demonstrated by this colorful, vibrant, and unparalleled line of shirts, bags, and pillows.
