Anne makes fabric. Then she figures out what to do with it. Her obsession with bags means a lot of her handwoven or botanical printed fabric ends up as project bags for other fiber fanatics, as well as other functional items such as purses, towels, scarves, shawls, and table runners.
Anne’s focus is primarily handweaving, but she is also is a dyer, spinner and knitter. She first learned to weave while living in Alaska over 30 years ago and started her business upon retirement from the National Park Service. Many of her designs are inspired by landscapes here and elsewhere. Her hand-dyed yarns and fibers, which she sells at markets and other shops, are also inspired by the natural world, though occasionally she goes out on a limb with bright colors. Her botanical prints utilize the plants around her house and neighborhood and are printed on cotton, hemp or silk fabric using mordants and natural dyes.
