Creating - Inspiring - Expressing
For many years, knitting was how I expressed my love of fiber. After retirement, I found myself with more time to invest in learning a new skill and weaving caught my eye. The rhythm of the loom was like a mantra - allowing me to lose myself in the newly formed fabric.
My custom woven pieces incorporate fine, imported yarns as well as organic cottons or a variety of fiber blends. My weaving is done on a Harrisville Design 36" floor loom, a variety of Ashford, Glimakra and Kromski rigid heddle looms, an 8 shaft LeClerc Voyager table loom or a 22” Saori floor loom.
My joy has been enhanced by instructing new weavers in finding their bliss -turning yarn into amazing fabrics - scarves, prayer and fashion shawls, table runners, napkins, blankets and wall hangings. I hope sharing my work will inspire those who may not think of themselves as artists to let go and create!
Enjoy the journey.....
