My new 48" loom!

This year marks my 50th year as a weaver.
And one of the gifts I gave myself is a new loom! Yes! I ordered a new loom from Macomber in the fall of 2018 - and it was ready this winter. But because I was away in Indonesia until late March - it was not delivered until last month, April.

Here is my new loom just after it arrived - harnesses still not installed. This loom is 48" with two beams, and 8 harnesses.

My old 56" loom - that was with me from the time I graduated from RISD until now - has a new home in a weaving studio in Boston.

The 56" moves onward to a new life in Boston!

The 56" in her new home!

 So life goes on! The "Shelter at Home" requirements from the Pandemic, have given me long stretches of time to dig into new works, to complete ones that I started in Bali and warp the new loom.

I never get tired of weaving.

I still find joy and inspiration in making art with textiles.

Traveling opens your heart

I am on a three month sabbatical in Bali and SE Asia. While here I’m trying to meet dyers, spinners and weavers, as well as batik and basket makers. Even though I speak very little Indonesian the common language of thread reaches across the language barrier.

The ikat weaver invited me to weave!
