I recently visited the studios of two weavers – Sue Broad and Jane Clark; Jane’s work can be seen at https://jointworks.co.nz. Sue mainly works on an 8-shaft floor loom; Jane on a 24 shaft compu-dobby loom. I was inspired by the work of both women and, as well as admiring their work and talking about weaving, I bought some pieces from them.
