Andrea

I developed my passion for yarn, particularly weaving, during my high school study abroad in Greece. I learned macramé, knitting, and crochet from my grandmother and sewing from my mom. My mom, Joy Saville, was an art quilter who instilled in me an appreciation for the craftsmanship found in all fiber arts.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Studio/Fine Art from Oberlin College in Ohio, a Master's in Elementary and Special Education from Lesley University in Massachusetts, and a Master's in Speech-Language Pathology from The College of New Jersey. After a fulfilling career as a teacher and speech-language pathologist, I embarked on a new journey as a hand weaver, motivated by a desire to engage in an age-old craft in the modern era.

"I am fascinated by complex, labor-intensive, and intricate patterns. I create artisan fabric with intention and love, setting it apart from industrial fabric."

What can I make for you?
