Riley Kleve

Riley Kleve is a textile artist and educator creating interactive and collaborative work in community-led settings. Their work in weaving, handspinning, and embroidery draws from history to create a queerer vision for the future of textiles. They’ve taught fiber classes large and small in settings ranging from biweekly library get-togethers to large dusk-to-dawn community arts festivals. Riley is a 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, a 2024-2026 resident artisan at North House Folk School, and a believer that wool is the best fiber.
