The owner of this loom is a practicing artist who first learned to weave in college, as part of her academic training. At the time she noticed this loom in an antique shop near Camdenton, Missouri, in 2002, she hadn’t woven in years.  Attracted by loom’s aesthetic beauty, she purchased it on the spot. Her intension was to restore it so she could begin weaving again – but finding time was problematic. It has only been recently, after relocating and retiring, that she has finally been able to start the restoration process.
