Grey Seal Weaving Studio
When I first met a basic drawloom I knew damask would be a major part of my weaving life. I`ve always lived next to large bodies of water — Lake Michigan and now the Atlantic — and the interplay of light, wind and water has captivated me. Damask has long been associated with functional fabrics, and the technique allows me to create elusive imagery that reminds me of the shifts of light and shadow, air and water. Weaving scarves and shawls lets me share that imagery with those who also want a warm, lightweight and durable accessory.
