PATTY HUFFER
on Zoom
Summer and Winter


Patty Huffer has been weaving since 1981. After graduating from Central Washington University, she took a summer weaving class. This began her almost 40 years of weaving and teaching others to weave and spin. The love of fibers and teaching others has been a life-long inspiration for her. There are new ideas coming from students and other weavers all the time. She always looks forward to the moment when each student understands for the first time how a woven piece is constructed resulting in a beautiful finished product. She has taught at Eugene Textiles, ANWG conferences and Madeline van der Hoogt's  Weavers' School.
We look forward to this program and her in person workshop coming in October 2026.
