Beverly was inspired to learn to weave
while on a trip to Scandinavia in 1998. Finding that Becky Ashenden,
a nationally known teacher of the Swedish techniques, had a studio
in Shelburne Falls, Bev enrolled first in a beginner’s course
with Becky, and then took more advanced classes over the past decade
both in Sweden and the U.S.
Bev prefers to work with natural fibers and most of
her weavings are created with linen, cotton, wool, or combination
of these fibers. Large Swedish Glimakra looms are found in Bev’s
weaving studio housed in a timber-framed addition to her old Cape
Cod farmhouse in Worthington. Bev says “I feel very in tune
with my Swedish heritage while working on these beautiful looms”.
