Hartford Artisans Weaving Center

Our mission is to enrich lives through hand-weaving.

The Hartford Artisans Weaving Center is a non-profit creative community that preserves, promotes, and teaches the craft of hand-weaving. We teach classes to the public, curate exhibits and sales, and run a unique artisan program. The artisan program teaches weaving to people who are blind, visually-impaired, and anyone 55 and older.

To the best of our knowledge our artisan program is the only one of its kind in the nation, where people who are blind or older in age are creative members of a community that works together to create hand-woven products. Some of our artisans have been weaving with us since we opened in 2009. The Weaving Center is know nationwide for its high quality, beautiful products and innovative artisan program.
