About Handweaving:

Handweaving, something I do to earn part of my living, is an activity that is an art, in that each work is unique and created from the heart, and also a craft, in that semi-mechanical, repetitive hand skills are used to create each woven piece.

Handweaving is also a metaphor for living a good life. We build our lives in time by creating interconnections with other people. Creating and maintaining the strength of these interconnections takes much thought and care. The fabric handwoven by this very personal day-to-day work makes our lives memorable, and worth living.

If you’re interested in handwoven mats, runners, pillow covers, rugs, or what-have-you, please contact me by e-mail.
