Welcome to our mill. This special place stands as a testament to my Dad, Andy Reisert, who began this project in the mid 90s. Today we have over 40 studios which house many talented and creative people. For some, it is a place of escape where their creative juices flow undisturbed by the fast pace of their daily lives. For others, it is a place of business where they can enjoy the best of both worlds as they make a living plying their craft and enjoy the antiquity of an old mill full of local history and flavor. Most important it is a place of bonding as artists and artisans work together and support one another in their endeavors.
We are looking for anyone who can add to our information about the mill. If any of your ancestors were part of the early history of this wonderful place, we would enjoy hearing from you.
At this time, no studio space is available but I would be happy to show you around and share with you the magic of Shady Lea.
Contact me via email or call me at 401-290-7548 if you'd like to check it out or just have a tour.
