South Kingstown Trifecta

The Rhode Island Weaving Center will be participating in the South Kingstown Trifecta Arts and Culture celebration on September 9th. Our studios will be open (see the Open Studios map below) and we will also have a table at the Field of Artisans. If you visit our studio, you will be able to see all of our great weaving equipment and projects - and peek in on an on-going Navajo Weaving Workshop. The Workshop is being taught by Lynda Teller Pete, a nationally acclaimed teacher and author.

Terese Ridgeway Retrospective

The Rhode Island Weaving Center is honored to present the Retrospective Exhibit of Terese Ridgeway. Terese and her husband Hal settled in Chaplin, Connecticut and bought an 1820s farmhouse where Terese found a barn loom in the attic which started her weaving journey.  This retrospective exhibit of her work will showcase woven rugs, table linens, jackets, lampshades as well as woven tapestries and bound weave wall hangings. Her work can be found at the Homer Babbage Library at the University of Connecticut; at Saint Mary's Church in Westfield, Massachusetts; and at the University of Montana at Missoula.  She exhibited widely and won numerous awards.

Come be inspired by the amazing breadth of techniques of one weaver who tried everything and loved it all.

The exhibit ran from May-June 2023, but her works are still with us through the summer. Feel free to stop by.
