The Studios At Bristol

Visit the Website

teri inmanTeri’s family started spending summer vacations in the Creede, Colorado area in 1950. From the time that she was a young child, Teri’s dream was to live in the San Juan Mountains. The dream became a reality in 1976 when Teri and her husband, Rick, moved to Creede and opened the Bristol Inn Restaurant. Patrons enjoyed Chef Rick’s fabulous cuisine for 26 years. During those years Teri also began spinning, dyeing, weaving, knitting,and marketing her work through the Bristol Inn Gallery. Though the Bristol Inn Restaurant and Gallery closed its doors in 2002, Teri’s business, Bristol Yarnworks, has continued to grow.

In 2008, The Bristol Inn Restaurant became the Studios at Bristol. Bristol Yarnworks Studio moved into a beautiful space expanding to include The Studio, The Yarn Shoppe, The Loft Gallery and Workshops.

The Studios at Bristol includes Underbrush Ltd. Studio and Workspace Gallery owned and operated by Teri’s sister, Kathy Killip. This eclectic studio and gallery features Kathy’s nature inspired designs, angel ornaments, natural wreaths, photography, note cards, jewelry, and Demdaco gifts designed by Kathy, as well as pottery and workshops.

In 2017 The Studios at Bristol welcomed a new venue.  Bristol Yarnworks Studio will be offering for sale Teri's Designer Originals and Goat Milk Soap as well as home accessories and hand-spun yarns.  Other selected artists will be exhibiting artwork for sale in the Studios on the upper level as well. 

In 2021 Bristol Yarnworks Studio will also be featuring hand-spun and hand-dyed rugs and tapestries.

It is the Mission of The Studios at Bristol to allow both artists and visitors to learn through interactive, educational exchanges using the creative process to empower their expression of creativity.

About Teri Inman & Bristol Yarnworks Studio

Teri D Inman FiberArtistFiber Artist, Teri D. Inman, has been creating handwoven and hand-dyed designs for more than 48 years. Complex color blends, distinctive style and quality are the hallmarks of her work. Teri specializes in cashmere, silk, and fine wools, often incorporating the process of arashi shibori into the fabrics for her Designer Originals.

Cashmere from the Bristol Yarnworks goat herd was collected by hand combing in January and then was sent to a mill for processing into roving or yarn. Teri hand-spins the roving as 100% cashmere yarn, or blends it with other exotic and luxury fibers preparing it to be hand-spun for weft yarns to be handwoven with silk warps for Limited Edition garments and accessories. The mill processed yarns are interlaced with silk to create white fabrics which are later hand-painted and processed with arashi shibori, or used in their natural grays and browns on painted silk warps.

Teri processes the wool from the Bristol Yarnworks Navajo Churro sheep after shearing, by washing, carding, hand-dyeing and hand-spinning this prized fiber for rugs, wall hangings and tapestries.

Teri is passionate about the process of creating her Designer Originals. The process includes hand-combing fiber, carding, spinning, dyeing, weaving, knitting, sewing and marketing. Teri particularly enjoys talking with customers and sharing with them the steps of her process. Visit Teri at the selected Events where she exhibits and sells her Designer Originals.  Her work is also available for sale at The Studios At Bristol in Creede, Colorado and Artemisia in Taos, New Mexico.

Teri-D-Inman-fiber-artistTeri Inman, Fiber Artist

The colors that I formulate to dye fibers, yarns, and fabrics are inspired by the landscape that surrounds me daily in our mountain home, as well as the outstanding forms and colors encountered during travels in our beautiful United States and abroad. Dyeing becomes a process where creativity flows freely as I hand paint yarns or transform fabric colors into intricate designs with my own variation of arashi shibori.
I find great joy in the process of weaving the luxurious textures of cashmere and silk, fine wool, or Tencel, linen, cotton, bamboo, and rayon into a sensual flow of fabric, which I then fashioned into distinctively styled garments and accessories.
