Handweaving

Email: overshot@aol.com

I have been weaving since 1984 and use various 4 and 8 harness looms ranging in size from 10 inches to 46 inches wide. Some of the fibers that I enjoy using are cotton, wool, mohair, and chenille. My creations include mug rugs (coasters), scarves, shawls, placemats, table runners and rugs. I like using many patterns in my weavings to create a distinctive look and have been selling my weavings at several art fairs and galleries around Wisconsin since 1988. Some of the art fairs I have participated in include Cardinal Stritch Mile of Art, Audubon Art Fair, Christmas Village, and Marion College Festival of the Arts. Besides art fairs, I exhibit my work in various gallery shows including Wisconsin Handweavers, Ozaukee County Art Show, Cedarburg Artist Guild Show, Sievers on Washington Island, WI and Wausau's Center for the Visual Arts. I have taught many workshops on various weaving techniques and as a member of Wisconsin Handweavers, Cedarburg Artists Guild, Ozaukee County Art Committee and Midwest Weavers.
