Nancy Lowenstein, Weaver

ure

I was first introduced to weaving when I was about 10 years old. I took a summer class with my mother and we  loved it.  A family friend had a big floor loom and we set that up in our NYC apartment, along with a huge box of yarn cones from a cloth manufacturer.  Needless to say, I found more "fun" things to do with my friends and the loom sat idle for years, until my mother sold it. I took up sewing, knitting, counted cross stitch, hooked rugs and rya along the way. I came back to weaving in order to weave my own Tallit for my adult Bat Mitzvah, however this project never was completed. I fell in love with the many different sides of weaving- designing, dressing or warping the loom and weaving the project itself. Each project is unique. My favorite colors are in the spring family, teals, pinks, purples, and more. I have woven items for my home, for friends and family, and love to see the expression on people's faces when I tell them I made it. I love to weave fabric and make clothing. transforming something I wove into something to wear is quite exciting. I hope you enjoy looking at some of my weaving
