About the Instructors

A native of California, Jennie Henderson has made her home on the Mendocino coast for the last thirty-five years and is a familiar face at local craft fairs. Her weaving experience spans four decades, several continents and a myriad of styles and techniques. She began weaving with a small inkle loom making belts, then a small floor loom making scarves and shawls; today she has over a dozen looms of varying sizes and purposes in her studio. Jennie has shown her work both locally and nationally and is the recipient of the American Tapestry Alliance Award for Excellence.

Gerda Randolph is now a fiber artist mostly making pine needle baskets and needle felted wool sculptures, but her introduction to fiber art began with tapestry weaving about 14 years ago. She loved the process and still "dabbles" with weaving. She has taught it to children in the Gualala Arts summer program and is looking forward to working with master weaver Jennie in introducing this wonderful process to you.
