I work in a converted garage behind the house. The garage once collapsed under snow, but has been rebuilt through the years. The workshop has two looms, including a 50-inch, eight-harness Norwood that serves as my primary loom. The loom has been customized with the addition of an auxiliary warp beam, using wood from a cherry tree harvested in a nearby town. My other loom is a smaller, 4-harness Norwood that was my only loom for my first five years of weaving.

Several years ago, I traded this loom to a friend, and regretted the move almost immediately. It took me a few years to steal it back, but he eventually did. I will never let that beautiful loom out of his sight again!
