Timeless Techniques and Contemporary Design
I combine timeless techniques and contemporary design to produce unique articles for clothing and the home. I also teach both beginning and intermediate students.

Laurie Duxbury weaves in her studio in Albemarle County, Virginia. Fascinated by colors and their interaction, she blends multi-hued yarns at her loom to create clothing and home accessories. She first became interested in weaving and textile production when, as a child, she visited historic sites in her native Virginia. As she learned the craft of weaving, her interest evolved into a passion for expressing her own creativity through the combination of colorful threads and traditional patterns. Though she works in traditional techniques her pieces reflect the elegance of contemporary design. Laurie has studied in Sweden and throughout the United States. In addition to weaving for shows and commissions, she teaches workshops and offers lectures.
I was drawn to weaving because of a love of traditional arts, but have developed my own voice by adapting tradition to contemporary material and celebration of color.
I want to share a part of my love for color and material in one-of-a-kind pieces for my customer.
When I’m not weaving for myself or others, I’m often teaching. I travel to lecture and teach workshops. I also am available for Zoom presentations. Below you’ll find a list of classes.
I want my students to enjoy learning new techniques so they can use them to express their own voice.
