Proia, Mary Ann

I began playing with fibers as a child. I learned to crochet from my grandmother and to sew from my mother.  I remember stitching doll clothes together by manually running my mother’s sewing machine.  (I was too short to reach the pedal.) Later, when I entered Nazareth college for Art, I discovered weaving and dyeing and have been at it ever since. Along the way, I have studied with Susan Rowley, Michele Wipplinger, Kathy Hattori, as well as other great weavers and dyers. I have shown my work here in Rochester, Seattle, Las Vegas, Colorado, and even Italy.  I have taught weaving in Antigua with partners of the Americas.  I recently receive the HGA Certificate Of Excellence in Dyeing. I enjoy passing on the knowledge I’ve learned to students then watching them take it and make it their own.
