The American Tapestry Project

Inspired by early exposure to the Gobelin and Bayeux tapestries of his native France, Jerome Regnier dedicated his retirement years to weaving scrolls representing the history of his adopted country, the United States. To that end, he designed and built tapestry looms on which he could weave tapestries whose width was unrestricted, including one 25 feet wide. Jerome produced 30 tapestries held together by such common threads as history, geography, and architecture of the United States, a selection of which will be presented at Studio 34.
