My main focus is warp patterning, which requires
weaving with more than one warp. I work with turned
drafts and free-form woven embellishments. I also
do a lot of ply-splitting (much more portable than
weaving).

I will travel just about anywhere and any time of
year. I have many years of teaching experience in
various venues - guilds, conferences, and the Arrowmont
School of Arts and Crafts. I have written many articles
for the major weaving publications.
