Pat earned the designation of Master Spinner in 1983 from the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners. Weaving was a natural progression for her, then sewing and designing garments from the handwoven and dyed cloth. She graduated from Seneca College receiving high honours in the Dressmaking Certificate Program.
Surface design has become a large part of Pat’s repertoire adding texture to the handwoven cloth. It is always about the cloth first.
