Marguerite Porter Davison
Marguerite Porter Davison (1887–1953) was foundational to the American handweaving revival of the twentieth century through her weaving, teaching, research, and scholarship. She self-published A Handweaver’s Pattern Book in 1944.
Caroline Cooley Browne is Marguerite Porter Davison’s granddaughter. Caroline was a founding board member of Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN) and a founder of its fiber arts studio. The team at BARN collaborated with weavers and weaving guilds across the US to create this revised edition, preserving Davison’s style and voice. Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network celebrates and facilitates creativity. BARN’s 25,000-square-foot facility in Bainbridge Island, WA, includes eleven studios and offers classes in weaving and fiber arts, as well as many other disciplines.
