About

I am a hand weaver, spinner and dyer. I use natural materials, wools, cottons, linen and natural plant dyes in my work.  I specialise in making traditional Sami crafts, such as band weaving, reindeer leather, pewter thread. I like to work with some of the almost forgotten crafts such as nalbinding, and fish tanning. I provide instruction on a one-to-one basis from my home studio in weaving, hand spinning and dyeing.
