Liz Gipson is a weaver, writer, and educator based in New Mexico with an educational background in community development and fiber arts. Liz started her career in nonprofits and moved into publishing in all the ways that content reaches weavers. Ten years ago she launched Yarnworker.com as a space to support rigid-heddle loom enthusiasts. She has written four books about rigid-heddle weaving and teaches at her local University and online at the Yarnworker School. Liz has been a member of WARP since 1996 and fully supports its goals to boost the signal for culturally-based, continuous textile traditions globally and locally and create connections among individuals and organizations who feel the same. She currently serves on the board and edits the WARP Quarterly Newsletter.
Weave a Real Peace (WARP) is a networking organization who serves a catalyst for improving the quality of life of textile artisans worldwide. They are an inclusive global network of individuals and organizations who value the social, cultural, historic, artistic, and economic importance of textile arts.
Liz will talk about the organization's history and its current activities. She will be joined by representatives of member organizations who can speak to the value of being part of the WARP network.
