​

Let yourself be caught up in the yarn and watch

I am Gabriela

... and my journey to traditional crafts began

in Australia. When I returned from my travels, I felt lost and longed to slow down.

I couldn't think of anything slower than craftsmenship,

so I fulfilled my childhood dream and, without any prior preparation, went to study at an art school.

​

Weaving continues to teach me how to slow down, to enjoy the whole process, and not to cling to the result. The desire for perfection, for having things right away, is unattainable in craft, and my work reminds me of that every single day.
