Mad Weaving with Ribbon and other permutations with Sally Shore

By controlling color and value in ribbon placement, you can reveal stacked cubes, stars, or pinwheels hidden in the weave structure.

Born in Wisconsin and taught to sew and knit as a child, Sally Shore studied fine art at Kent State University in the late 1960s with a concentration in graphic design. She took a weaving class during her last quarter before graduation.
She began working with ribbons after receiving a gift – the book Weaving with Ribbon by Valerie Campbell-Harding – in 1991. Ms. Shore has experimented with color, value, and texture concentrating on tri-axial weave with its inherent optical illusions. In April 2008 Ms. Shore self-published A Ribbon Weaver’s Handbook. She continues to teach ribbon weaving, bead weaving and knitting and eco-printing to guilds and individuals.
