Riley Kleve
Riley Kleve is a nonbinary textile artist and educator creating collaborative work in community-led settings. Their work in weaving, hand spinning, and embroidery draws from history to create a queerer vision for the future of textiles. Some recent highlights include weaving felted pins and inviting viewers to name them based on gender feelings they evoke, creating a co-woven tapestry with over 110 attendees at Northern Spark, and facilitating drop-in LGBT craft nights. Riley has a self-directed BA in craft and curation from Hampshire College and is looking forward to diving deeper into their weaving and hand spinning practice during ADP.
