About the Author

Gerald Findley spent many years studying, reproducing, and teaching the art of fingerweaving. He has had a life long interest in learning and teaching crafts including basketry, braiding, bead work, tablet weaving, inkle loom weaving, and wood carving. His interest in crafts led him to become a Scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts of America. While Ceremony Team Advisor for his local troop, due to lack of published material on fingerweaving he began a series of drawings and crafted actual pieces to help team members create their own costumes. He has woven and donated for use by members of the Order of the Arrow Ceremony team over 30 sets of finger-woven pieces.
