How WEFT Started
After 12 years of creating PLY Magazine, the magazine for spinners, Jacey Boggs Faulkner partnered with Lisa Graves embarked on a new adventure. It started with a dream, led to a wildly successful kickstarter, and we’re excited to see what happens next!
MEET THE WEFT TEAM
Jacey Boggs Faulkner started and runs PLY Magazine. She’s spinner, a teacher, weaver, and a writer. Her passions have come together for the past 20 years via PLY Magazine, PLY Away, the PLY Spinners Guild, and her workshops all over the world. She’s in love with weaving and is excited to take her knowledge of publishing and how to produce a stunning and smart magazine and marry it with Lisa’s knowledge of weaving to create WEFT.
Lisa’s entire life changed the moment she threw her first shuttle – in that instant she knew there wasn’t anything else she ever wanted to do more. Ten years later, Lisa is an international handweaving instructor and spends most of her time learning everything she can about weaving and sharing that knowledge with her students. She owns Kawartha Weaving, a private weaving studio in Ontario, Canada.
Bernadette Emerson is a maker, editor, musician, and mother. She’s the only photographer that PLY Magazine has ever had and promises to bring as much beauty and clarity to WEFT.
Elizabeth is a the long-time art director of PLY Magazine. She’s also a designer, illustrator, fine artist, nascent ukulele player, and married to a prolific spinner and fiber artist. She is delighted to be directing her abilities toward the task of making WEFT Magazine fabulous.
