, in a lofty 80 by 35-foot room
full of looms over on West
’ 17th Street
“It changed my life," she
said recently, sitting on a
couch in one comer while
three weavers silently wove
and classical music soothed
their backs in the back-
ground.
“We were doing personal
commissions and selling to
personal collectors until
then. But in the last five
' years, craft shops have
grown into an industry and
«. now loom companies are
sprouting up overnight so we
can get better looms. And
there are hand-weavers who
are willing to do large scale
things such as tapestries."
And not just the pillows
and rugs Ms. Lester was

Bloomingdale's, et al.
Still, it was something
! when Pan Am asked her to
do 260 tapestries for the
, fleet. No rush, of course,
they said. Take your time.
. So for four years, she kept
five weavers weaving and at
the end, she got $24,000.
(The weavers, who earn
an average of $150 a week,
she says, get paid by the
square foot. Because some
are faster than others, to
pay them by the hour isn’t
much reward for the fast
ones.)
She’s done a lot of com-
missions for corporations
