Lois Hunter
I am a lifelong learner and enjoy many fibre crafts. I started weaving after I retired and joined three local Guilds. I am an independent, home-based weaver.
I grew up on a farm in Northern Saskatchewan (Shellbrook) where we had over 800 sheep as well as other animals. I have actively participated in my Langley Guild and have taken countless weaving workshops from many instructors, particularly, Jane Stafford.
