Catherine Weaver - Artist, handweaver
Catherine B. Weaver likes to make things. Her work is typically functional, generally optimistic, and infused with protective magic - like the mantra you write on the mirror to counter the demons in your head. A lifelong devotee to the act of creation, Catherine entered the world of textiles in 2017, studying with Master Weaver Jan Doyle at the Carolina Fiber Center on Narragansett land in southern Rhode Island. She is currently enrolled in the Master Weaver course, a member of the board at the Carolina Fiber Center and runs her own teaching studio in Pawtucket (Wampanoag/Narragansett) Rhode Island. In addition to weaving, she studies herbalism and permaculture, writes songs, LOVES to garden, ferments her veggies and sings at every opportunity. Of her work, Catherine says, "I'm equally focused on bringing beauty into the world and developing skills to serve my community, as we work towards a collaborative, regenerative future."
