“My introduction to hand weaving was at Lasell College, in an industrial arts class: a project to warp a four harness counter-balance loom and weave at least 14 inches. I had never even seen a loom, but I still have that first piece of weaving. For the next fifty years, while raising a family in California and Texas, I was always on the hunt for all types of looms and learning how to use them. Now, with other members of the Big Country Handweavers, I demonstrate the craft at Western festivals, schools, study clubs, and fiber arts shows.”
