I have always had a passion for textiles and the creative process of weaving. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills with others, so teaching weaving seemed like the perfect combination of my interests and talents. I find fulfillment in helping my students discover their own creative potential and achieve their goals as weavers.

I have several years of experience as a professional weaver, working with a variety of fibers and techniques. I also have experience teaching weaving, both in a classroom setting and through one-on-one instruction. I have a strong understanding of the technical aspects of weaving, as well as the creative process and I am able to communicate effectively and make it easy for students to understand.

I tailor my teaching methods to the individual needs and skill level of my students. For beginners, I focus on building a solid foundation of technical skills and understanding of the equipment. For more advanced students, I provide guidance and support as they explore more complex techniques and projects. I also encourage my students to work at their own pace and provide individualized instruction and feedback as needed.

I am dedicated to staying current on industry trends and changes in weaving. I regularly attend weaving-related conferences and workshops, read professional journals, and participate in online forums and groups. I also maintain professional memberships in weaving-related organizations, which provide me with access to the latest information and resources. I keep myself updated with the latest techniques and materials, so I can provide my students with the best learning experience.

I believe that both traditional and modern techniques have their own value and importance. I encourage my students to explore and experiment with both, so they can understand the history and evolution of weaving and develop a well-rounded skill set. Traditional techniques provide a rich cultural context and can inspire unique and authentic designs, while modern techniques can open up new possibilities for expression and innovation.

I use a variety of methods to evaluate student progress, including observation, written assignments, and student-teacher conferences. I provide ongoing feedback to my students, both verbal and written, so they can understand their strengths and areas for improvement. I also set specific goals with my students and use them as a guide for evaluating progress and providing feedback.
