Instructor:
Anne-Marie was a Guild member from 2001 to 2010 and has recently rejoined. She has lived in Richmond Hill since 2000 but began weaving in the 1970s with The Village Weaver in downtown Toronto. While weaving is a passion, knitting is her first love, having learned at the age of 10 from her mother in Sudbury. Socks are her specialty, but she has recently taken up “Brioche” as taught by Nancy Marchant, a two-colour technique which she has used in shawls and scarves.
