Weaver, Spinner, and Dabbler

Janis Johnson

I’m still weaving dish towels and making cards for sales, but also working on personal projects including tote bags with 32-shaft Summer and Winter, Krokbragd rugs, and bead leno shawls.

I’ve always enjoyed making things and over the years have learned a little bit about a lot of crafts.  I worried that I was just a dilettante in the art world until realizing that my hobby is learning to make things and that’s OK.
