WEAVING WITH WIRE

Fiber has been my passion from my childhood and the thread of that interest has created a wonderful life long journey. I’ve had yarn in my fingers since the age of 8 and it led to a professional fiber art career in the early 1980s and continues now.

I started weaving in 1973, but things changed in the 90’s when I discovered weaving with wire. My work changed dramatically – woven metal cloth can be shaped and manipulated to create three dimensional sculptural work. This new medium is extremely engaging and I have used it to create jewelry, basketry and sculptural art.

LIZ GIPSON

RIGID HEDDLE WEAVING

 "I am a weaver, writer, and educator who is smitten with small looms and big plans. I spend my days weaving, writing about weaving, and teaching others to weave. The rigid heddle is my loom of choice—a perfect little loom for a great big world. Weave with me at YarnworkerU"

THREADS THROUGH TIME

THE RISE, FALL AND REVIVAL 

OF

TURKISH HANDWEAVING

In 2009, Jennifer set out to find high-quality, handwoven Turkish textiles—expecting a straightforward journey. What she uncovered instead was an endangered art form gasping for breath. Weaving had already vanished from Türkiye’s cities, and even in rural villages, looms sat silent, collecting dust or tucked away in storage out of sight.
