Complex Weavers www.complex-weavers.org/ - Complex Weavers is a group of weavers dedicated to expanding the boundaries of their handweaving, and that encourages members to develop their own creative style, inspiring others through research, documentation, and innovative ideas. We challenge our skills and imagination by sharing information and innovations with our fellow weavers - both directly and through our study groups, Seminars, and Journal.

Education
Red Stone Glen Fiber Arts Center https://redstoneglen.com/
Born out of 46 years of combined teaching experience, Tom Knisely and his daughter Sara Bixler sought out to create a space where students come to learn, find kinship in each other and relax in a studio that feels as much like home as their own. Our goal at Red Stone Glen is to inspire and guide students to develop their skills at the highest level while relaxing in a serene and welcoming atmosphere.

Coverlet Weaver www.coverletweaver.com/
Gay McGeary is the Coverlet Weaver. Her work is inspired by the legacy of 19th century Pennsylvania German weavers. She sees each coverlet as a work of art, a living statement from the past of color, design and texture, inviting you into the mind of the artisan who created it.
