Bio: Beth started to weave in 2020 after retiring. She has taken classes through the Weavers Guild of Minnesota and currently weaves on a Rigid Heddle loom and a floor loom at home. Her interest is in exploring Norwegian weaving. This has led to taking a course at Vävstuga in Massachusetts and weaving at a studio in Norway.

Description: I wove this piece as part of the Scandinavian Weavers’ Telemarksteppe group warp at the Weavers Guild of Minnesota. The design inspiration came from a veggteppe my husband and I received as a wedding gift from a relative in Norway in 1978. The wool was purchased in Norway and is similar to the material used in the original weaving.
