Demonstration
At the Three Strands Studio the visitor can watch the transformation of
fiber to fabric. At times we begin with fiber in its rawest form—wool,
cotton, flax, or silk—and spin it into yarn for weaving. While spinning,
dying and weaving all take place at the studio, the emphasis is primarily on
weaving and the exploration of color. The result is functional garments
textiles for the home that turn everyday objects into items of beauty. A
demonstration loom will be set up and available for visitors to weave upon

Statement
Trained first as a weaver of words, to find strands of
metaphor and colorful synonyms to convey an emotion or picture or idea.
Trained second as a naturalist and scientist, to see
pattern and complexity and the beauty of connection in systems and
individuals.
Trained third as an artist, to create beauty with color
and texture and pattern. To make useful things that will also bring
pleasure just by the very fact of their existence.
Ultimate goal: to make cloth so beautiful that even if
it were not practical or useful (which it is), it would still give joy just
by being looked at.
