Beth Allman has been weaving for over 40 years. Largely self-taught, she loves the interplay of color and incorporating natural elements into her weaving.

“I am drawn to making utilitarian items that are beautiful and useful. But most of all I love sharing the craft.”

Beth Allman lives in Quincy, Florida, with a yard full of exciting vines and saplings.
