Dianne Totten

Dianne Totten, a weaver for over 40 years and teacher for 30, creates one-of-a-kind garments often using “crimp cloth,” a technique she developed. Her expertise in sewing complements her passion for weaving. She teaches at John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina and nationally and internationally for guilds and conferences, including Convergence. Her award-winning work has appeared in Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot, Handwoven, Weavers, Complex Weavers Journal, Catherine Ellis’ book, Woven Shibori, Revised and Updated, Convergence fashion shows, and Vavmagasinet. Vav chose her crimp jacket as “Best in Show” in its category at the Swedish National Convention Fashion Show.
