From Pandemic Passion to Tufting Success: A Conversation with Sav of Tuft PVD
In this episode of PVD POV, we take our podcast on the road for the first time, heading to Tuft PVD, a vibrant tufting studio in Hope Artistry Village. We sit down with Sav Hazard Chaney, the creative force behind Rhode Island’s first and only Black, queer, and woman-owned tufting space. Sav shares how a TikTok video during the pandemic sparked a career change, leading to a thriving business and even a spot on The Jennifer Hudson Show! Tune in as we talk tufting, creativity, and the power of community in Providence. The interview, released during Black History Month 2025, underscores both Sav's groundbreaking role in Rhode Island's creative landscape and the ongoing importance of highlighting Black entrepreneurship and innovation in the arts.
