Louise Vandernagel
I have enjoyed sewing and creating since I was a teenager, and started weaving shortly after I got my Bachelor of Home Economics degree, majoring in Clothing and Textiles.
I love the creativity that weaving encourages, using colour and textures, various yarn fibre types, plus the multitude of weave structures! I enjoy the planning, designing and then deciding to be intuitive. My new eight-shaft loom is opening up possibilities.
