I studied weave design, gaining my degree in the early 1990's and later went on to get an MA in textile arts. I enjoy the process, starting with a collection of threads through to seeing the weaving grow on the loom. There are so many options with shaft weaving and I love experimenting with a range of materials and weave structures.
I have been teaching for almost 20 years and love watching students grow in experience, knowledge and confidence.
