About Balancing Point Creative Studio
Knitweaving. The creation of fabric with both a woven weft and a knitted warp, blending threads and unspun fiber with lines and circles. The finest tuning fork I have found for managing many elements, one at a time, into a harmonious whole. The process lets me practice choosing, continuously, what belongs in this endeavor and what needs to wait its turn.
For over 25 years, Balancing Point has been, for me, a process, not a place. I get to reach for balance by staying still, considering my surroundings, and translating into fibers the natural world that speaks to me deeply, here on Lake Erie. It is a journey of many years, and a gift grown in the fertile medium built up by many generous teachers. I am committed to passing on their gifts to me, wherever the natural world inspires another learner to manage color and fiber for surprising outcomes.
