Fiber Arts:
Off-Loom Weaving

Jessica Holton is a clinical social worker and an award-winning fiber artist.  She began expanding her fiber arts journey beyond sewing in September 2022.  While taking a drop spindle fiber spinning class, she wondered how she could use the created yarn.  She began weaving on a tapestry loom in October 2022, taught herself how to knit in December 2022, and attended her first off-loom (virtual) workshop in February 2023.  She appreciates the sustainability of visible mending and has explored embroidery. 

She teaches off-loom weaving workshops and classes at fiber festivals, yarn shops, and education centers.  Her off-loom weaving pieces have been accepted in juried art exhibits.  She won Best of Show in 2023 and sold a piece sold in 2025.

 

Jessica takes pride in using sustainable materials, such as industrial mill yarn ends, and repurposed or found objects.
