 WE ARE BACK!!!!! 

On Dec 3rd and 4th, 2022 from 11 to 4, the historic Shady Lea Mill will again open it’s doors for our Annual Open Studios Tour. Situated on the scenic Mattatuxet River in North Kingstown, we house over 40 artists and artisans working in various media.  Some of Rhode Island’s most gifted people open their doors to the public and offer a wide array of hand made local gifts.  Featured will be one of a kind Pottery, Sculpture, Weaving, Spinning, Rug Hooking, Painting, Mixed Media Collage, Glass Blowing, Photography, Jewelry Design, and Classes offered in Rug Hooking and Painting.  Anchor Bend Glassworks is an unprecedented glass artist collaborative established in 2003. This award winning team is comprised of childhood friends Michael Richardson, Justin Tarducci and Timothy Underwood. Their award winning designs can be seen at select galleries and museums nationwide.  

 Back again this year is the absolutely gorgeous jewelry of Petri Kymlander, the antique clocks of Rich Fyans and our busy Donna Thompson, still making things with a bit of a “twist”. This year we will also be featuring several new additions to our "old timers"  Debra Walland, The Rug Hooker is one of our newbies.  Her classes are becoming famous. Painters, Karen Houston, Ann O’Brien, Gloria Dahl and Jane Loomis, the team from The Coastal Pottery and The Shady Birds Potters are also new.  Wander thru the historic hallways of the Shady Lea and enjoy meeting the artists, watching demonstrations and be prepared to be amazed!   Check our Website and Facebook Page for more Information.

Our fundraiser for this Open Studios will be in support of the North Kingstown Food Bank.  Each Artist and Artisan here at the Mill will be donating a piece of their work to be sold to support this local cause.  

    As always, The Shady Lea continues to be home to an artistic magic that permeates through every Studio.  While admission is free,  the artists of Shady Lea Mill are asking guests to bring a non-perishable food items for the North Kingstown Food Bank.   Collection bins will be placed at every point of entry. Food items of greatest need are proteins – peanut butter, canned meat and fish, beans, etc.   Thank you.
