Instructor Betsy Bruce: A weaver since 1987, Betsy taught "From Yarn to Garment" at Oberlin College, for 16 winter terms (January) where her students designed their own wearable projects, wove, constructed andmodeled their garments all within less than a month. More of a colorist that a structure weaver, Betsy enjoys assisting others exploring new techniques.
