For Christine Miller, weaving is a mystery.

Miller took a continuing education class at the University of Texas Austin. It was a weaving class. Because of that experience, she changed her major to art to learn about design.

There she overcame her childhood art block and dove headfirst Into weaving.

 What attracted Miller to weaving is its mystery. As she says, you never know the end result, no matter how much planning.

Her full-time life as a professional artist complimented her classroom experience. Eager to bring fiber to the K - 12 classroom, Miller will for traditional studio practices with her textile processes that she taught her students.

To this end, her website, explorefiber.com, helps bring fiber arts to the masses.
