About the Instructor, Tamar Shadur:
I have been a tapestry weaver for the past 34 years, as well as an ESL and Adult Basic Ed. teacher for about 20 years. (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. Memberships: TWiNE, ATA (American Tapestry Alliance).
