WHY DID YOU START WEAVING?

I've always loved creating things. In elementary school I wrote plays, in high school I learned to knit, I got into card making for a bit in my early 20s, made one very large and detailed scrapbook for my niece, and then detoured into pottery for 5 years. I moved across the country in 2013 and found it a bit daunting to move the heavy, fragile ceramic objects. I also really enjoyed how warm, welcoming and encouraging the ceramics community was in Philadelphia, but had a different experience when I arrived in Seattle, which led me to look for another creative outlet. I started knitting again and mentioned to my husband that I was interested in learning to weave. He encouraged me to start weaving and I did!  

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN WEAVING? 

Oh boy! Learning to weave is a bit like teaching yourself to play the violin. I dove right in and bought a rigid heddle loom, but quickly wanted to be able to weave more complex patterns and excitedly - and naïvely - bought a floor loom. I tried to find information online and bought a bunch of books, but had a difficult go of it for about a year. I ended up joining the local weavers' guild where I found a great teacher who had over 40 years experience. I took structured classes with homework for a whole year and learned much more than I ever would have learned on my own.
