It could be said that Jeri’s weaving career began when she was ten years old and wove potholders in Brownies. But it wasn’t until she sat at a floor loom 31 years later that she fully realized the joy and wonder of weaving. It was in 2017 when some life changing events occurred that the decision was made to become a full time fiber artist.
