I am a handweaver of fiber, baskets and beads.
A self created craftsman who has evolved mostly to fiber art
after raising sheep for about40 years
and having llamas for over 20.
I grew up in the era of ‘make do’. we created our own entertainment … I was intrigued and loved needlework, sewing and all the little tools… I really don’t know when I started bead work, but I remember pieces I’d done from childhood... We had very little money so if I saw something I liked I’d try to figure how to make it myself,
Most of my experience is self taught or eventually from some classes and workshops and having friends with the same interests...we‘ve learned from each other... Probably one of the greatest sources of learning for me has been teaching and giving workshops.
Beadwork and basketry both seem to have the same tactical pull on my Spirit as working with the natural fibers....
My spinning wheels and looms are old, well worn and used, many with bumps and bruises of a working life but still perform faithfully, together we spin and weave yarns and recycle fabric into something new.
