Meet Jennifer

Weaver since 1990.

Teacher since 1992.

Passionate about helping YOU create that which makes your heart sing!

Retired Museum Curator. So she knows a thing or two about historical textiles and the care and preservation of textiles.

Weaving! All forms - from the smallest pin-looms and box loom bands to the largest looms (10 shaft Ulla Cyrus, 59” weaving width).

Self-taught in tatting, hardanger embroidery and crochet.

Natural Dye student of Jean Haley, Bloomington Indiana. Lovin’ that indigo vat and dye pots.

Relocating your family isn’t an easy decision - but low taxes, large open farm fields and a warm welcoming community drew us to Greencastle.

The house drew us in. 5 acres in the woods.

Need I say more?

We all know the tale…someone’s grandparent had a loom, it’s now in the attic/basement/barn/garage - been there for YEARS…and they’d like to begin weaving or sell the thing to make room for new toy.

But…they know nothing about the loom, or how to get it fixed, or what it’s worth (if anything). Can you help?!

Yep. I can. And do. Some I rescue. Most I refer. But call. Because there’s gems out there in the cold, dank spaces of storage units.

Yes! Historic handwoven items (coverlets, garments, blankets, anything handwoven fabric).

Need to know what something is? Let’s find out!

Desire to know how to care best for that baptismal gown? Come to the studio and let’s evaluate it.

Tips on laundering (or not!) that precious heirloom item - definitely!

Seeking background information on what IS this cloth (found in a box in the back of a closet)?!

Cost is $30 for an hour. Resources for archival storage will be referenced (so bring a notepad and pencil). Contact Jennifer to schedule a date with history!
