Mae Ring (creator)
Mae Ring (1935-2005) was born and raised in Michigan. Although not Native American, she is generally credited with the rediscovery of the traditional Native American art of fingerweaving. Ring was the former wife of Isaac (Ike) Peters and passed her intricate fingerweaving skills on to their daughter, Renee Dillard. Many of Ring's handmade pieces are on display in the GRPM.
