Studio Tessere (Italian for weaving studio) is a one-woman operation, with the exception of a few furry assistants, based in Boston, Massachusetts.

I produce hand painted or dyed, hand woven wearable fiber art and wall hangings. Currently, my work is focused on Woven Shibori, a technique (perfected by Catherine Ellis) where the pattern threads are inserted as I weave. Then those threads are pulled to provide a resist before being hand painted or immersion dyed. After dyeing, those threads are removed and the pattern is exposed creating a unique piece.

I love working with color and coming up with unexpected color combinations. The color choices and dying method can make the same pattern look very different, adding to the uniqueness of each scarf or shawl and making it one of a kind.
