GREGG JOHNSON has been crazy about color and fabric his whole life. He started collecting paint chips in grade school, knit his first sweater in high school, did backstrap weaving in the peace corps after college. He took a sabbatical after many years in the corporate world and learned to weave properly on a floor loom, He never went back to the corporate world. Instead he apprenticed with and then wove for Randall Darwall for four years before opening his own custom weaving business. He spent time at Penland School of Crafts and fell in love with Western North Carolina so took the job of managing the weaving and dyeing studios  at Penland for 8 years. After doing two more tours in the Peace Corps with a Moroccan women's textile coop, he returned to NC and worked in a yarn store for numerous years while knitting over 200 sweaters of his own design.  Gregg has lived and worked all over the US and around the world, teaching color, weaving, natural dyeing and sweater design among many other textile related topics.
