Katherine
Ladendorf studied drawing, photography and publishing in college,
but always wanted to try weaving. After working for a few newspapers
and raising kids for awhile, she finally broke down and bought a loom.
A self-taught weaver since 2001, she makes blankets, table linens,
towels and rugs. She finds satisfaction in the way tiny, repeated
motifs can mirror patterns in nature, such as fish scales and feathers,
or large flocks of birds. She is also inspired by mosaics, Mediterranean
colors and by yarn itself. She lives in St. Louis County with her
husband and two kids.
