“I cannot recommend Kimberly enough for her willingness to teach what I wanted to learn, her patience, ability to explain things well, and her lovely attitude and friendliness to a complete stranger from a foreign land. Thank you Kimberly from the bottom of my heart!” -Lynne Milner, Canungra Qld. Australia

“I started my weaving path with Kimberly in 2008... Her kindness and patience and sense of humor in teaching the basics of weaving to me and my late husband is a memory I will treasure... Anytime an instructor can make learning a new and sometimes challenging skill fun makes the lesson more than valuable, it’s priceless.”
-Debra DuBois
After working at a weaving supply store for seventeen years, I know that people who need to weave know it in their blood and in their bones. Many of us have such difficulty explaining this need. Where does this deep passion come from over yarns and cloths that machines can make a hundred times faster than people can?
Weavers hold on to their ancestral threads, and very quietly continue to make the world with their fingers. Although most of us have forgotten how to call in the Fates who we embody as we work, the slow entwining of the horizontal with the vertical is always symbolic of the making of the world. And why would we do that? Is that really who we are? The spinners of Fate and weavers of the fabric of Reality?
I believe that we are just people trying to find our way in this new world that doesn't seem to really need weavers anymore. But we need to remember what it really means to be a person. The craft of weaving has been with people for almost as long as people have been around, some say it is entwined in our evolution as a species. Maybe weaving, like any endeavor that feels right in one's bones is much more important than we know.
“I find Kim’s teaching method very soothing. She is very knowledgeable of the material and has a very calm manner in presenting the steps of setting up and weaving. She is encouraging in regards to thinking creatively outside the box and that allows us to let our minds expand to all the possibilities that are out there to try. I would and have recommended her to my friends that come to Taos!” - Annie Wheatley
“I found Kim an attentive instructor interested in providing her students with a great weaving experience.” -Laura Martin
