Workshops, articles, book, & woven items

I have been weaving since 1967.  Flowing lines, intriguing textures, bold images and original designs characterize my award-winning work. I give workshops and lectures for guilds and conferences, and have taught in nine countries so far. My book, Exploring Multishaft Design, helps weavers to have fun creating new drafts for looms with 8 or more shafts. 

This site is under construction!

Samples from The Big Twill workshop, 8-shaft loom, white cotton warp.  Network drafting is quite nice with 8 shafts and possible with 6 or even 4. See my article on WeaveZine, August 2009.
