Hi, I’m Jaimee Veronneau Roberts
of The Dog and Pony Show!
Looking back, I can pinpoint my love of bold, eye-catching fabrics to the years I spent wearing drab Catholic school uniforms from kindergarten through high school. That contrast sparked a curiosity that led me to comb thrift stores and vintage shops, transfer to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City to learn to design and sew my own clothes, and later move to London to study Leather Accessory Design while exploring Europe’s creative landscape. Eventually, I invested in a stable of looms and set up a weaving and sewing studio in my home.
I’m driven to create work that is both distinct and vibrant - pieces that reflect my motivations and memories while also pushing me to refine my drafting and finishing skills. I currently study with Norma Smayda at The Saunderstown Weaving School in Rhode Island and teach children’s weaving classes at the Rhode Island Weaving Center in Wakefield. Sharing the joy, confidence, and local history of textile-making not only fuels my personal projects but also helps build community through collaboration.
