About Sinclair Fibre Arts |
How I got started - I was living in Dawson Creek during 1991 and joined the local guild.
During the next summer we were demonstrating weaving and spinning in one of the log cabins
at the local heritage site. The girls were always bugging me about being a weaver – no way!
Anyhow, in front of some tourists, I was coaxed up onto the weavers’ bench and threw the shuttle, and that was it. |

My Looms |
My main looms are a 12 harness 60" LeClerc floor loom, 5 table looms, 36" 4 harness floor loom
(being re-designed to an 8), 16 harness AVL pegging system floor loom. Since many loom types have
evolved over the centuries I would be happy to answer any questions about the looms I use in the following list. |

Products |
Sinclair Fibre Arts creates Woven Products on the loom. Barb uses many types of materials to create each item.
Although she has created many individual items, no two are the same, each carries it's own character |

Raw Materials |
I like just about anything - Lots of people want natural fibres only, but this can limit the look you're going for.
Unless a fibre has been treated with caustic soda, for example, the sheen you're looking for may not be there. |
|
Mentoring |
Please write any problem you may have with a loom or project and I'll try and get you on your way. Also, there are a few things to know about warping,
threading, sleying, etc. that I've learned along the way that may help. |
