Deborah (Debbie) Todhunter has been teaching weaving workshops in the Southeast for over 12 years on a diverse range of topics: Shadow Weave, the Miniature Overshot of Estes and Hayes, Swedish structures, and checked fabrics. She also knits, tats, and makes bobbin lace -- interests that all started at a young age -- and spinning came later! Debbie enjoys researching structures, ferreting out obscure resources, and sharing the knowledge with her students.
