TWiNE is Tapestry Weavers in New England, a group of tapestry weavers who meet 3 times a year in various locations around New England. You don't have to live in New England to join us. We organize workshops, retreats and exhibits. Most recently: TWiNE 2008: A Contemporary Look at Tapestry, September 2008 at the Rivertree Center for the Arts in Kennebunk, ME. This blog is a work in progress, but soon it will include photos of tapestries, links to TWiNE members' websites and blogs, lists of useful stuff like teachers and materials, announcements of exhibits and whatever else we get around to posting here.
