About me

I belong to Complex Weavers (past pres), Weavers Guild of Boston (current Bulletin editor and past Dean), Weavers of Western Mass (current program comm., past pres.), Pioneer Valley Weavers (past pres.), Weavers Guild of Springfield, and HGA. I'm currently a member of the Complex Weavers study groups CTools, CAD, Japanese Textiles, 24 Shaft More or Less, and Early Weaving Books and Manuscripts and have been a member of many others in the past.

My looms are a 4S/4T 22" Harrisville, an 8S/10T 24" Macomber, and a 32S 36" LeClerc Weavebird computer dobby.

I am a teacher

I teach

Lace weaves, Symmetry, Block and other design, Drafting, Structures, Weaving from Music or Topography.

I also teach a multi-year class called Explorations in Advanced Weaving which meets once a month from September to June. The class is geared to high intermediate to advanced level weavers who are looking to challenge themselves on more than 4 shafts. It meets in person only (not an internet class). Next section starts in September, 2012 and will run four years.
