[6403] /---/ Berta Frey began as an occupational therapist in woodworking at the U.S. Army's Walter Reed Hospital, and began learning and teaching handweaving, as well as training her students to construct weaving looms. After moving to New York, she worked in the textile industry, and later opened her own design studio, taught weaving, and by 1940 was one of the co-founders of the New York Guild of Handweavers, whose first year's weaving programs focused on studying Native American Weaving of the Cherokee Tribe. She was one of America's outstanding authorities on handweaving, was a lecturer, teacher, leading textile designer, and a regular contributor to Handweaver & Craftsman Magazine.
