Louise Bradley-Authored Handwoven's "Finishing Finesse" column for many years and her original designs appear in Handwoven and Interweave's Design Collections. She teaches workshops around the U.S. including Convergence. Her current fascination is variations on Moorman technique in handwoven clothing.

Sally Kuhn - Worked for yarn during high school and college, helping with knitting, crochet and needlepoint projects. An avid weaver for seven years and a closet spinner for five, you can see her woven triple weave pick-up cougar in the main office of Smiley Middle School in Denver.

Jane Patrick - As a past editor of Handwoven magazine and with her involvement with Schacht Spindle Company, Jane is very knowledgeable about many areas of weaving. Teaching rigid heddle is one of her many loves.

Gail Madden-Has worked with yarns and fabrics since childhood. An accomplished craftsperson, she combined her interest in fabrics with weaving when she took her first rag weaving class. She has been weaving, dyeing and teaching about rags ever since. Look for her designs in Handwoven.
