Kathleen has been working with fiber & fabric for over forty years, first as a theatre educator and costume designer and more recently as a fabric designer. She has been dyeing, spinning, and weaving for thirty years. Her passions include Shibori, Ikat and researching the history of the fabric arts. She enjoys making connections between her field and larger cultural patterns, an interest that dates back to her years as a university professor and costume historian. She has taught at the Charter Oak Weaving and Spinning class in Covina, which is famous for it’s 100 looms in one large room! She has now moved to Portland, Oregon, and looks forward to enjoying the North West. Kathleen holds a MFA in Theatrical Design from the University of Texas at Austin where her love of weaving began.
