Mostrom and Chase Handweavers was founded in 1976 by Diane Mostrom-Chase and Fred Chase in Newburyport, Massachusetts. With two hand looms, a few yarns, and a shared vision, they began weaving functional textiles rooted in the belief that useful, beautiful objects—honestly crafted by hand—belong in daily life.

Their journey has taken them from New England to the Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina, and now to the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, a region known for its quiet beauty and long tradition of supporting the arts.

Today, Diane and Fred are joined by their daughter Emily, continuing a family tradition of weaving with care, purpose, and pride. Each piece is individually crafted on hand-operated looms, blending traditional techniques with contemporary needs. Though self-taught, they feel deeply connected to the generations of artisans before them.

Their work is defined by patience, skill, and a commitment to craftsmanship that endures through every thread.
