Monson Community weaving in process.
Last week I was in Monson Maine, guiding a Community Art Project. This was truly a collaborative effort. The quarry shaped loom was built by one of the staff of Monson Arts, the fabric we wove with was all donated by the community and volunteers helped cut and prepare the materials for our weaving.
With the loom and work tables set up in a prime location next to the Monson General Store, we wove and made small people to tell the story of Monson, her people and her quarries. The finished creation will be assembled soon — I can’t wait to see the pictures!!
Monson Community Weaving. The loom is shaped like a quarry!
The Monson Community!

Along side this Community Art project, I continue to guide my apprentice Katherine Ferrier through the Maine Crafts Apprentice Program, make my own art and play in the summer waters.
