“This move is about our membership,” says Judi Jetson, “Having more to offer them. Studios, an expanded classroom space, exhibit and retail space, and a common area for socializing and networking” were cited as the need. “At our board retreat last year, we also decided we wanted to do more community outreach. At our new location, we will be part of the River Arts District and adjacent neighborhood, and more available to the public than ever before. We want to be actively immersed in the local community. We have a retail space, Shop Local Cloth, to support our mission to bring climate-benefitting fiber to our regions closets, gardens, and studios. We have a dynamic store front in our new space, where members and passers by alike can see what our regional fiber community has to offer. Publications: |
