  • About Lynn
    Lynn Shaw is a weaver, knitter, and spinner who creates hand-made and unique works of beauty and utility.  Endlessly interested in new techniques and fabrics, she’s experimented with many art forms, including silver and copper jewelry making, painting, pastels, and many other mediums. Growing up in the hamlet of Fowler’s Corners, Lynn learned to knit and sew from her Aunt Pamela (a perfectionist knitter who made garments that her great-nieces still wear today) and mother, Cynthia.  She expressed her artistic talents through drawing, and yet had a strong interest in maths and sciences. While raising three daughters – Candace, Cassandra, and Samantha –  in the village of Keene, she worked as a librarian, photo technician, photographer, videographer, and even brought her artistic talents to bear in her work as an electronic assembler.  Recently returning to school to pursue an interest in mapping, she completed a diploma at Fleming College in Geographical Information Systems, graduating with high marks. Lynn’s love of animals expresses itself in many ways; from the horses and ponies she rode when younger to the strays that arrive at her door and become part of the family, she’s housed everything from bats and raccoons to squirrels, turtles, and rats, not to mention a beloved…
