Pam Engberg has been weaving for over 30 years. Her first teacher was Kate Edgerton, of Norwichtown, Connecticut. Pam is especially interested in Navajo and tapestry weaving, but specialized for some years in the production of liturgical items and is familiar with a wide range of floor loom weaves. Recent trips to Uzbekistan have expanded her experience to include Central Asian rug and carpet weaving techniques.
