Piedmont Fibershed Yarn Hall: Building a Community Textile Maker Space

Art + Wellness | Available

Calling all makers, growers, spinners, weavers, artists, neighbors, fiber folks, and textile-curious minds! We need your help! Join us for our first Yarn Hall—a welcoming, hands-on event where we’ll explore what this textile maker space could become.

What’s a Yarn Hall?

A 'Yarn Hall' is a creative twist on a traditional town hall, designed to gather community input in a warm, informal, and hands-on environment. These gatherings serve as a space to connect through craft, conversation, and collaborative visioning. 

What to Expect:

This is a charettes style event where we look for solutions and solve problems. We want to imagine, make, reflect, and reimagine together.

Rather than a top-down presentation, Yarn Halls cultivate a shared sense of ownership by asking questions such as:What could our ideal maker space look like? What do Piedmont makers, growers, artists, and community members need from a maker space? How might this project serve the textile community in the Piedmont?
