REMAINDER OF 2026

Introduction to Tapestry Weaving– at the Shelburne Craft School
September 23 – November 11

Tapestry weaving dates back thousands of years and is a woven art form that conjures many images in peoples’ minds. It is a medium that allows the weaver to create shape, design, texture and symbol using yarn. In this course, students will learn fundamental skills required for taking their tapestry weaving ideas to the next level.

Therapeutic Weaving

Weaving on simple frame looms lends itself to contemplation and self-inquiry. Everything from choosing colors, textures, materials and shape are part of the process of creating a woven piece that is entirely unique and meaningful for the creator. I use this medium in several ways in my work with people. I’ll list them below:

~ Weaving a Life Series: I had the great pleasure of working with and learning from Susan Barrett Merrill, who created the Weaving a Life series. These are a series of seven woven projects completed on a simple frame loom. The weaver is invited to deeply reflect on what they are working through at any given time, while they create something beautiful and imbued with meaning. As a certified Weaving a Life leader, I will take the weaver through these projects in a personal and individually relevant way.

Online or in-person. Contact me for more information.

~ Individualized Projects: I help individuals design unique projects that are specific to a given longing, process, or stage in life. The project is born from conversation, exploration, and inquiry that shapes the work itself. We decide together how the process will unfold resulting in work that captures your unique life.

Online or in-person. Contact me for more information.

~ Weaving Through Grief: Taking time to create a piece of art that contains textures, colors, symbols and artifacts that reflect what we have loved and lost helps us to metabolize our experience of grief through the body. It’s another pathway to healing. The very process of weaving and other handcrafts is linked to positive outcomes in relation to depression, anxiety, stress, grief and even sleep.

Together, we will create projects that are tailored to your own journey through grief. Projects will be suitable for individual experience, and time and space availability.
