Meet Jean: I have been weaving for about 30 years. My grandmother taught me when I was young and mentored me early on. I have tried other fiber arts and have settled on weaving. There are so many things to learn and try- and weaving brings me the greatest joy and peace. My next area in rug weaving that I want to explore is dyeing- of rags and various other weft materials.
