A Rhode Island Handweaving Center
The Rhode Island Weaving Center was established in December of 2020. Our mission is to expand and advance the practice of handweaving through classes, workshops, exhibitions, collaborations, and weaving resources. The Center also serves as a location for other fiber artists to work and learn from one another.
