frittelli and LOCKWOOD
Cecilia Frittelli and Richard Lockwood have been textile designers for the last 25 years, married since 1984, full-time business partners since 1990 and parents of two children and two pets. We live in Greenfield Center, NY and work in our studio/gallery space located in the emerging Arts District at 143 Grand Ave, just west of Broadway in Saratoga Springs. Our contemporary clothing and accessory collection is handwoven on both traditional and computerized looms. The American-spun yarns we weave include silk, merino, alpaca, and chenille, with a special emphasis on eco-friendly fibers from bamboo, hemp, and soy. We strive to be a zero-waste studio by upcycling our “scraps” into pieced and patchworked clothing. Our retro-inspired textiles are then steam-finished, cut and sewn into custom-tailored garments with exceptional fit and comfort. Cecilia has been a weaver since childhood when her father helped her build a backstrap loom from popsicle sticks. Richard worked in New England textile mills as a teenager, never imagining a career in textiles. Later, intrigued by rebuilding Cecilia’s old looms, he began designing necktie fabric. In the summer of 2009, after a couple of years of renovation, they set up a studio and gallery in an 1850 building in the Saratoga Arts District. They welcome the public to see the looms in action, Wednesday through Saturday when their studio is open to the public from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm.
