Slater Mill Gallery

Artists Susan J. Cole Stone and Candace Held exhibited their work at the Slater Mill Gallery in Pawtucket, RI in a show called, Interweaving Nature & History, June 29 - August 19, 2007.

Slater Mill let us borrow an old loom and spinning wheel for the gallery entrance window to emphasize how our work for this exhibition related to the history of Slater Mill. Susan's watercolors of old mills are interspaced with my glass 'weavings'.
