The Studio & Gallery
|
|
The Studio and Gallery is located in historic Tiverton Four Corners in Tiverton, Rhode Island. Those familiar with the Southcoast region of Massachusetts and Rhode Island know of this area for its farms, small villages, coastal waterways, beaches, and wineries.
Tiverton Four Corners is home to many popular shops and eateries including Gray's Ice Cream and the Provender right next door, and the Four Corners Grille and Milk & Honey Bazaar are up the road. Sakonnet Vinyards is not far down the road.

The working studio and gallery combine to show you textiles from start to finish. Several looms are set for a variety of projects and custom orders. You can watch actual pieces being woven in their various stages. Finished scarves, table linens, blankets, rugs and more are for sale in the gallery.
|
I also use the many looms to teach classes to students of different skill levels, from beginners just starting out to those looking to hone their skills on special projects through guided tutorials. Plan a day to come in and try a loom, or reserve a week to learn the entire process.
