(BFA Ed., MEd, both degrees from UMass, Amherst). Over the years, I have given numerous workshops, most recently at the Fiber Arts Center in Amherst. My larger and finer tapestries are woven on a large low-warp loom (Aubusson tradition), and smaller tapestries on portable upright tapestry looms. My students use the small portable upright looms.
