I have a background as a teacher in mathematics and chemistry which has been my profession for forty years. Since my youth I have been interested in weaving, and have spent most of my spare time with different weaving projects. After retirement, I have studied textile history, and have obtained a bachelor’s degree. My special interest is analysis and reconstruction of old textiles, together with the techniques and cultures from which they emanated.
