Rita has been weaving on and off for over 45 years. Her husband bought her a loom as an engagement gift instead of a ring. She is a certified Master Weaver Level 1 and continues to learn and explore. She loves mixing colors in a painterly way and exploring all manner of looms from tree branches to rigid heddles to large floor looms. Rita says, “Teaching a subject I love is pure joy for me.”
