I am Sharon Alderman, handweaver, artist, teacher, writer and author. I have been weaving very nearly every day since autumn 1969. I have honed my skills with each new warp on my loom. My scientific education has helped me develop analytical skills, and my artistic bent complements them nicely. My work has been shown in competitions and invitational exhibitions all over North America. In 1993, I was represented in the National Museum of Women's Art in Washington, D.C. In 2006, I was named one of "Utah's 100
I do a lot of things related to weaving. I have written and published three books; Handwoven , Tailormade , A Handweaver's Notebook, and Mastering Weave Structures and over 130 magazine articles on weaving and design topics.

I weave custom-designed upholstery fabrics, art fabrics, reproduction fabrics (grill cloth for antique juke boxes, among other
I weave beautiful cloth that functions as it is asked to do. I have been teaching since 1976. Weavers have come from Australia, the UK and Israel to study with me in my studio.

Each time I teach I find ways to present the complexities of weaving in a way that is easier to grasp.
