Your Teacher- Lucy Jennings

I grew up sewing, and I loved the feel of cloth in my hands. That's what drew me to weaving, getting to work with yarn and understanding how it all goes into making textiles.


 When I got to college, I was intrigued by the weaving courses, and that was that! I've been weaving ever since - over forty years.


My favorite is weaving with cloth strips, and my other favorite thing is bringing my weaving world to beginners like you.
