Georgia Knutsen initially began learning fiber arts skills as a hobby about
15 years ago.  At that time, she and her husband were living in the high desert
of southeastern California where her husband worked as an aerospace engineer
for the U.S. Navy and she taught classical dance and operated her own dance
studio, Sierra Academy of Dance.  That busy pace prevented her from spending
much time on her hobby.

    When the couple retired in 1996, they moved from the desert to the mountains
of the northeastern part of the state, settling near the small town of Chester, CA,
located on the shores of scenic Lake Almanor.  The forests that ring the lake are
a creative inspiration that encouraged Georgia to pursue her spinning and weaving
with enthusiasm.  In this quiet region where the Sierra Nevada mountains meet
the Cascades, you are in daily contact with natural beauty.  It's a place where
traditional crafts are still valued.  And what began as a simple hobby has now
blossomed into a modest but satisfying "second career".

    Georgia  is affiliated with the Plumas County Arts Commission and the
Conference of Northern California Handweavers (CNCH).  She welcomes
questions and  comments; you can reach her at any of the addresses
noted on the previous page.
