My fascination with textiles and handweaving began in the heady 1970’s and has only increased in the intervening years. From the beginning I have been intrigued with the interplay of color, structure and fiber available only to the handweaver. Sitting at my loom, throwing the shuttle and watching the amazing process of threads being interlaced into a textile that began as an idea in my head is still, after all these years, a joyful and amazing experience.
I love teaching and I am fascinated by weaving. It was just natural that at some point I should begin offering classes and workshops in an effort to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with other weavers. That decision has proven to be most satisfactory. I now teach advanced weaving classes at the AVL Weaving School and structure-based workshops for guilds and conferences including Convergence 2008 through 2020.
