Deborah Jarchow

After many years teaching knit and crochet, Deborah discovered weaving in 1996, and her love of fiber, texture, and color came together. Since then she has worked full time as a weaver and artist, including teaching fiber arts, creating and selling wearable art, giving lectures, and showing in local, regional, and national exhibits. Deborah's work has been exhibited at galleries and museums across the country, and she has won numerous awards and written articles for national publications. Her work has been commissioned by churches and is in many private collections. Since 2004 she has been an artist-in-residence, teacher, and weaver at Studio Channel Islands Art Center in Camarillo, CA. During the last several years, Deborah has focused her teaching mainly on rigid-heddle looms, which makes weaving accessible to as many people as possible. She travels extensively to share her weaving enthusiasm and expertise. Deborah loves helping Makers discover the joy of weaving. For more about Deborah, go to deborahjarchow.com
