Beginning a new weaving
Stephanie Hoppe Handwoven Rugs



I weave wool rugs and wall hangings on a vertical frame loom with the technology perfected by the People of the American Southwest over 1,200 years ago. This weaving is slow and requires close and constant attention. It also yields the physical and spiritual rewards of all contemplative practices, as well as a sense of participating in ancient rhythms of work. Rugs woven on this loom are dense but supple, a pleasure to touch as well as look at, and certain to withstand hard wear for many years.
