Teaching
After years of dyeing and weaving in my studio, I am a supportive teacher who remembers what it was like to sit at a loom for the very first time. I offer efficient methods in moving through the weaving and/or dyeing processes with enjoyment (instead of frustration) and how to deal with all the mistakes that can (and will) be made. My goals are to give beginning students the confidence and excitement to pursue weaving independently or through more instruction, give advanced students new methods and ways to approach design and weaving, and to provide weavers paths to explore weaving and designing more intuitively from the right side of the brain. Through my classes I encourage students to dive into color fearlessly.
I love teaching what I have learned to new students as well as sharing many invaluable tricks, tips and techniques with experienced weavers. I am an enthusiastic instructor and my classes are filled with stories...weaving stories, dyeing stories, life stories.
