About Louise

Weaving Teacher and Fiber Artist

Since childhood Louise has had an interest in fibers and textile arts. After her first weaving class in 1984, weaving supplanted her other fiber art expressions. An analytical mind made her inquisitive about weaving theory and structures and a love of color has led to exciting results. She focuses her work on scarves, shawls and garments. 

Five years ago she was introduced to Ply Split Braiding through Peter Collingwood's book, "The Techniques of Ply-split Braiding". She now explores this new, portable expression to create neck pieces and vessels. She also sells on her website the needed tools for Ply Split Braiding: cord makers and gripfids of her original design. 

Her current passion is spreading the joy of weaving through excellence in teaching, and she offers classes in weaving and ply-split braiding for beginner to advanced weavers.
