About

I weave on a nineteenth century barn loom in my studio in Brooklyn, NY. I began weaving about 8 years ago, and completed the work-study program at Marshfield School of Weaving in Vermont. It is at this school that I fell in love with barn looms, and the household textiles that have been created on them for the last couple of centuries. Since then, I found a barn loom of my own, and have woven textiles inspired by nineteenth century overshot, Bronson lace, and huck weaves. I use natural materials, primarily linen, hemp, and cotton. My towels and blankets are hardworking, and are meant to be heirlooms that can withstand daily use. From start to finish, I make all that I weave by hand. I warp the threads, thread the heddles, sley the reed, weave the cloth, and finally cut and hem each item by hand with needle and thread. My process is determined by the rhythm of the beater on the cloth line, the shuttle back and forth through the shed, and the needle at the hem.
