Your instructor is Peggy Pollard of Gray, Maine. Peggy began weaving baskets in the late 80’s and 90’s teaching workshops in her home, and producing the “New England Woven Tote” for LL Bean before retiring. After three, her daughter Erin began weaving her own path, and it wasn’t long before the mother and daughter became a team, designing and creating together. Underwater Weaving Studio was born.
