Unni Bakstad Lorenz - Weaving Instructor
My background in weaving spans over 30 years. I've taken extensive courses in Norway, U.S.A. and here in Canada. I received my Crafts Program Diploma and Certificate for teaching crafts from Capilano College. At the Sons of Norway Heritage Camp I taught basketry, felting and weaving. Numerous weavers guilds in B.C. have taken workshops from me in the Norwegian Krokbragd technique. I've taught weaving and crafts through the Surrey Recreation Program. Weaving on one of our loomsThe Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners Guild honoured me with a Life Membership. I've participated in hangings now on permanent display: a transparency at the Cancer Clinic at Surrey Memorial Hospital, a tapestry in Peace Arch Hospital and felted panels, at the new arena in 100 Mile House, B.C. I'm also a member of Greater Vancouver Weavers and Spinners Guild, South Cariboo Weavers and Spinners Guild, The Guild of Canadian Weavers and the Norwegian Textile Letter.
