Mary E. Black
Mary Ellouise Black (September 18, 1895 – February 11, 1988), an occupational therapist, teacher, master weaver and writer, created almost single-handedly a renaissance in crafts in Nova Scotia in the 1940s and 1950s. Her best-known book, ‘’The Key to Weaving’’, was published in 1945 and has since run to 3 editions and numerous printings. Its clarity is without parallel, and, more than half a century later, it remains a handweaver's prime source of information.
== Early life ==
Mary Ellouise Black was born on 18 September 1895 at Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. The eldest daughter of William M. and Ellouise (Eldridge) Black, she received her early education in the schools of Wolfville, N.S., and graduated from Acadia Ladies Seminary in 1913. From 1914
to 1919 she was employed first by the Town of Wolfville and later by the Royal Bank of Canada.
It could be said that Mary Black's career as a weaver started when she was aged eight in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, after she saw a picture of a Native loom. “Left on her own one day, she built a small loom. By evening, she had woven a grass doormat and the family wiped muddy boots on it for years.”〔Atlantic Spinners and Handweavers,’’Mary E. Black: Key to Weaving Collection’’, brochure, http://www.parl.ns.ca/ash/pdf/MEBbrochure.pdf〕
