About Me
I have been a fiber artist/weaver for the past seven years, and have been selling my work
to the public since 2006. I took a circuitous route to weaving - I am an MIT-educated
former attorney and am currently a stay-at-home-mom to two wonderful children (a four
year old daughter and an 18 month old son). I have always been interested in craft and,
like so many other weavers that I have spoken with, just somehow knew, even before
trying weaving for the first time, that I wanted to do it. Perhaps it's a genetic memory of
sorts - after I taught myself to weave I found out that my maternal grandmother was a
mill-girl weaver in her youth in Uxbridge, Massachusetts.
I am a member of the Handweaver's Guild of America and the Weavers Guild of Boston. I
have had original work published in Handwoven Magazine (see here for the Endnotes
article I wrote!), and have taken weaving classes at the Worcester Center for Crafts as
well as through the WGB. I will attend Convergence, the HGA's biennial conference, for
the first time in 2008. I am also in the process of weaving swatches to apply for the HGA's
Certificate of Excellence in 2010.
I am happy to weave custom items, based on my current designs - so, if you see
something in my studio at WAS or online at Etsy that isn't quite the right color, size or fiber,
please contact me - I'll be happy to work with you on a design that will meet your needs.
I also have a blog, of sorts, here. In it, I talk a bit about weaving, a bit about selling on Etsy
and at WAS, and a bit about skiing (my other passion). Stop by, learn a little about
weaving, perhaps, and leave me a comment.
