I am a native of Ireland, but have been living and weaving between Barcelona and Ireland for over 21 years now; mostly in Barcelona. I studied woven textiles (and dyeing and felting) at Winchester School of Art, UK and have lived and worked in Ireland, UK, Japan and now Spain.
Weaving takes up the space in my brain that is not filled with my daughter, son, husband and family - and "grown-up paid non-weaving work"...(the "mortgage paying" kind that takes up most of my time! As well as housework and sundry other things which I usually try to ignore as long as possible).

Hi Ruth
I thought of you the other day when John and I visited Suzhou (about 10 mins from Wuxi by train). We went to the Silk Museum where they had everything in the whole silk making process (including live silk worms). There were a couple of guys demonstrating silk weaving on a giant wooden loom. I imagined you getting them to shove over to give you a go!
Love Laura x
PS. John has a photo of the loom on his blog http://wuxifrisbee.tumblr.com/
