A Message from Becky
“After attending my 15 week-long intensive weaving course in the Fall of 2019, Eva and Megan were invited back to start up blanket production. I am thrilled to once again offer blankets for sale after a 25 year hiatus. Friends and acquaintances still inquire from time to time if they can purchase a blanket, and now I can say “YES”!! These 2 young women have worked hard and have become skilled weavers, and their work is stunning.”
A Message from Eva and Megan
“Eva and I both came to the Vav Immersion program with different backgrounds. Eva came to the Vav Immersion program after working as an Environmental Educator. She initially learned and fell in love with weaving at Berea College in Kentucky. She had heard about Becky’s Swedish weaving school long ago and came with a desire to grow her existing skills. I had no prior weaving experience before the course but have an artistic vein in my family and was looking for a meaningful retreat following my year of volunteer work in France. We both fell in love with the beautiful area that is western Massachusetts and thoroughly enjoyed the extended weaving education that we received from Becky. When Becky approached us towards the end of the program about possibly weaving wool blankets for production both of our gut reactions were to accept this unique opportunity. We are excited to introduce these initial blankets to you and look forward to launching a website with more of our weavings in the future. Our desire is that these handmade blankets would bring warmth, comfort and some artistic beauty to your home.”
A small percentage of this purchase will be donated to the continuation of programming that helps to preserve traditional crafts and skills, such as the Vav Immersion program.
