An avid learner, Françoise has deepened her knowledge by taking courses at the Association des Tisserands d'Ici (ATI) and many other workshops. Françoise is very involved with the Lasalle Guild, as well as with the Association des tisserands du Québec. She has been giving weaving courses for many years, including one on the Backstrap loom technique, weaving on Inkle loom and thread tracing. She has also given several lectures on card weaving.
