The free November 14–15 event joins a tour of the Hartford weaving studio with a sale of scarves, rugs, wearables and kitchen linens.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
At Hartford Artisans Weaving Center, the studio tour and the sale belong to the same place: visitors can see the center’s main studio, meet artisans and browse goods made there. The Open House and Sale runs November 14–15, with different hours each day.
The event lists one-of-a-kind scarves, rugs, wearables and kitchen linens, as well as new items for this edition. The center says its products are designed and handwoven by artisans, then sewn in its Hartford studio. Touring the main studio offers context for the goods on sale: this is where the work is made, not simply a sales venue.
The listing does not provide prices or a detailed inventory. It also does not identify which particular items or artisans visitors will encounter, so shoppers looking for a specific piece should check with the center before visiting.

The event notice describes the makers as blind, visually impaired and/or 55 or older. The center’s separate Artisan Weaving Program is open to people who are legally blind and/or at least 55; previous weaving experience is not required. Those are program criteria, not an age or eligibility rule for attending the sale.
The open-house listing invites visitors to meet artisans but does not name the individuals expected to attend. It confirms a studio tour, conversation with artisans and shopping—not a hands-on weaving class.

The center’s everyday shop is scheduled to be closed October 28 through November 18, 2026, and reopen November 19. The Open House and Sale is separately listed for November 14–15, during that closure; the shop notice does not replace or cancel the event dates.
The center also offers a separate online selection, with nationwide shipping and curbside pickup for local shoppers. That online selection is not presented as a preview of the open-house sale.
