Everyone has a dream....Crazy as a Loom Weaving Studio is mine.
In a historic 1790 home located in the little hamlet of Kingsbury,NY, I have found my passion. I originally purchased the house for a place to set up all my antique looms. At some point, bringing the house back to life and the dream to weave became so entangled, I couldn't tell them apart. I no longer knew where one ended and the other began...they became inseparable,interwoven..Now I am doing what I love most, weaving what I want every day. While I love to recycle used fabric and leftover products of the textile industry, I have also found that I love to craft unique dish towels , blankets and fabric from an array of colorful threads.
There is no mystery, no secret pattern.....just the rhythmic sound of looms doing their jobs, treadles to the floor, harnesses raised, beaters packing the weft. In the words of Thoreau, I have met with success unexpected in common hours.
