Phyllis Miller has been weaving since 1970. She is largely self-taught but has been a weavers guild member ever since 1977 in different locations, so she’s attended many workshops, conferences and Convergences. Presently, she has her original 4-shaft Leclerc, an 8-shaft Baby Wolf and a 12-shaft Leclerc Dorothy loom.
She has been published in Handwoven’s Design Collection 15, Handwoven JF1992, and Handwoven ND2021, where her woven sashiko-style project and inspiration articles feature two patterns from her sashiko samples collection.
She has had extensive experience teaching adults both in person and online.
