Education:
M.A Anthropology; CSU Sacramento, 1997 Thesis Title: The Fabric of Time; a Handbook of California Indian Textiles B.A Anthropology; CSU Sacramento, 1994
Textiles:
An experienced spinner, weaver, and dyer, specializing in prehistoric textile technology, I'm also experienced in bobbin lace, nalbinding, netting, twining, kumihimo and related braiding techniques, along with a variety of lesser known techniques. I've made and used warp-weighted looms, ground looms, spindles of various types and other early textile tools.
Clothing:
I have over 25 years experience as a historical re-enactor in a variety of settings, including 7 years working as a historical interpreter at Sutter's Fort State Historic Park in Sacramento, California. In many ways, long term historical interpretation is similar to anthropological fieldwork- the researcher gains a first hand experience of life in a foreign culture that cannot be acquired in any other manner. One of my most popular lectures is "Fad, Fashion and Function; or, So Why Did They Dress That Way?". This talk explores the function of clothing as an aspect of everyday life. I'm currently looking at the relationship between the development of the sewing machine and clothing construction techniques and styles of the late 19th century.
