Christina Garton

Christina Garton first fell in love with weaving after taking a class at a local fine art museum. Now, as the editor of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, she’s worked to create a publication that both nurtures newer weavers and challenges more experienced weavers. Christina enjoys weaving on all loom types, from homemade cardboard looms to her 8-shaft floor loom and all the other little looms in between.
