Make a cup of your favorite tea and join us as we talk about fiber, creativity, inspiration, process and so much more.
Becky Ashenden owns Vävstuga Weaving School in Shelburne, Massachusetts where, since 1991, she has taught Swedish Weaving, using traditional equipment and techniques. Becky’s 1981 visit to Sätergläntan Institutet in Sweden provided her an introduction to the Swedish textile world. This training gave her the motivation and passion to pursue weaving as a career. The following 13 years of production and sales allowed her to build a unique set of skills in the theory and practice of weaving. Through decades of teaching, Becky has formulated her courses to provide maximum exposure to her techniques and expertise at the loom. Her natural need to provide warm hospitality, including home-cooked meals within a cozy environment, is well satisfied at Vävstuga. Becky’s Vävstuga Press allows her to be involved in many publishing projects, including translating weaving books from Swedish to English and republishing Swedish weaving books that have gone out of print.
