Founded in 1984, the Flying Shuttles Art & Weaving Studio is a non-profit gallery and retail shop that supports the creative abilities of artists and weavers with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our artwork is as diverse as the artists who create them. We have a large selection of two-dimensional and three-dimensional art, including hand woven rugs, placemats, table runners, scarves, original paintings and drawings, greeting and holiday cards, note cards, and dolls. In addition to our current inventory, hand woven items can be custom designed to accommodate your size and color requirements.
