I am a weaver and upholsterer located in Rothesay, New Brunswick, Canada.
Providing hand-woven, eco-friendly textile products allows me to offer customers confidence that their choices have a positive impact on their lives, and the environment. I am super passionate about giving new life to heirlooms and distinctive vintage furniture, while focusing on creative ways to minimise project waste by making smaller products while reducing, reclaiming and upcycling. – Andrea
