Handwoven by Kristin Kelley
About Me
I have been a fiber artist/weaver for the past eight years, and have been selling my work
to the public since 2006. I took a circuitous route to weaving - I am an MIT-educated
former attorney and am currently a stay-at-home-mom to two wonderful children (a five
year old daughter and a three year old son).

I have always been interested in craft and, like so many other weavers that I have spoken with, just somehow knew, even before trying weaving for
the first time, that I wanted to do it. Perhaps it's a genetic memory of sorts - after I taught myself to weave I found out that my maternal
grandmother was a mill-girl weaver in her youth in Uxbridge, Massachusetts.
I am a member of the Hand weavers' Guild of America, Complex Weavers and a Board Member of the Weavers Guild of Boston. I have had original
work published in Handwoven Magazine (see here for the Endnotes article I wrote!), and have taken weaving classes at the Worcester Center for
Crafts as well as through the WGB. I attended Convergence, the HGA's biennial conference, for the first time in 2008, teach classes for various
area weaving Guilds, and am excited to have been invited to teach classes at NEWS (New England Weavers Seminar) in the summer of 2011.
I was also incredibly honored to receive the very prestigious Dorothy Glowacki Celebratory Award from the Weavers' Guild of Boston.
I am happy to weave custom items, based on my current designs - so, if you see something in my studio at WAS, at a show, or online at Etsy that
isn't quite the right color, size or fiber, please contact me - I'll be happy to work with you on a design that will meet your needs.
