Diane June Welter loves working with fiber - especially wool - as a medium for color, texture, and pattern. Her design work includes sheep scenes, stylized botanicals, illuminated texts, and geometric repeats. She specializes in hooked cushion covers as well as the wooden bases for ottomans and chests. She teaches hooking with woolen strips, and dyeing.

Diane has a growing library of original designs in stock on linen both her own and other local artists.

Diane also offers custom design work based on a photograph, some wallpaper, or ideas supplied by you. You may have a celebration (wedding, anniversary, birth) to commemorate or a list of someone's favorite things you would like incorporated in a design for a gift. You supply the subject matter and I will do a design suitable for hooking on the backing of your choice or supply you with the design to transfer yourself. You can specify colors, size and strip width. Send me your ideas, being as specific as possible, and I will send you some questions to answer and an estimate of cost.

Diane studied art at Rhode Island School of Design and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She has studied hooking and dyeing with Betty Levrat at Hill Institute; Kim Nixon, Deanne Fitzpatrick, and Norma Batastini and others at ATHA workshops; with Marilyn Bottjer at the National Museum of Folk Art; and Jane Hester at Green Mountain Rug School. She studied dyeing with Wanda Kerr and Michelle Micarelli. She has a range of fiber skills including sewing, knitting, crocheting, dyeing, and weaving.
