Continuing and New Students Welcome
Weaving classes at the Rhode Island Weaving Center welcome both beginning and continuing students. New weavers start with a sampler project, learning the equipment, basic techniques, and foundational weave structures. From there, students can move on to more advanced techniques, structures, and personal projects. We have fun while building skills, confidence, and an understanding of how cloth is made. Students who have taken at least one weaving class are encouraged to continue exploring and expanding their weaving practice.
Dates: Wednesday evenings, 6:00 - 9:00PM

Instructor
Suzi Ballenger
Born and raised in Indiana, Suzi Ballenger, MFA, is a Rhode Island fiber artist and educator known for thinking outside the box. She has a curiosity for material that stimulates her language of hand and craft; believing the fullest expression of a fiber can be realized through observation, repetition, and structure. Every fiber has a personality – it is up to listen to it.
Suzi’s work is recognizable because of the self-designed tools and techniques she often uses that contrast transparency with density. The meandering, pathways of rhythm, are an unexpected linear element that demonstrate the intention of thought and handwork.
