Beverly Barlow makes a variety of fibre art products under the name Border House Fibre Arts. She dyes, spins, knits, weaves, felts and sews to create unique one-of-a-kind items, primarily using the fibre from her own animals. Beverly also believes in conscious consumption and regularly repurposes or thrifts materials as she makes her creations. As a fibre artist, she prioritizes colour and originality, as well as the hand-made aesthetic. 

Beverly earned her spinning certificate in 2014 after completing the 7-year program at Fleming College’s Haliburton School of Art & Design. She has also completed the Canadian Co-Operative Wool Growers fibre judging course which was offered in collaboration with the Ontario Handweavers and Handspinners in 2009. Beverly counts herself lucky to have been mentored by Master Spinner and Weaver Betty Wilkinson, from whom she took private lessons.
