Using two antique floor looms, Kathy weaves eco-friendly rugs from recycled Pendleton Mills wool selvage (the raw edges trimmed from Pendleton blankets). She loves the dynamic colors and textures of Pendleton wool, and the rich, luxurious feel that they give her handwoven rugs. Drawing from her background in sculpture, painting, graphic arts, and textiles, Kathy blends a colorful, modern aesthetic with the traditional art of hand-weaving. She also enjoys designing wine totes, pillows, and other home décor using Pendleton fabric. Kathy loves sharing the process and joy of her craft; and making something of beauty for others is deeply satisfying.
