Join us in the Burlington space for fiber work, handcraft, and digital projects as we create and cultivate a welcoming place where ideas can grow. Bring your stitching, knitting, spinning, unfinished objects, writing, or laptop work. This is time set aside for slow making, quiet focus, and the gentle power of working in community.

This gathering meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month.

We’re excited to share some wonderful news from our community: a brand-new craft space is almost ready to open its doors!

Community member Sadie Rapp, her family, and their dedicated building team have been working tirelessly throughout the fall and winter to bring this creative hub to life. Thanks to their vision and hard work, we are now days away from welcoming the public into this inspiring new space.

Whether you’re a seasoned maker or simply craft‑curious, we hope you’ll stop by, explore, and connect with others who love creating.

Stay tuned for opening details and future workshops—we can’t wait to see you there!

Gather with us for a cozy get-together of crafting, storytelling, and community to celebrate winter! You are invited to bring your own craft project or partake in one of our activity tables, and we'll have a Show and Tell in which participants are invited to share a recent project or a story about what fibers or textiles mean to them. We'll also provide updates on Piedmont Fibershed's projects and a preview of what's to come in 2026. Warm beverages provided; please bring a snack to share.

This fall, students participating in the Southern Oral History Program at UNC-Chapel Hill will share the results of their internship research on the Southern textile industry. In collaboration with Project Threadways, a nonprofit dedicated to craft preservation, cultural heritage, and creative placemaking, students conduct oral history interviews and research to document the stories of individuals whose work and lives have shaped textile production in the American South.

Presentations will explore how memory, narrative, and place converge in the history of Southern textile craft and consider broader questions of labor, economy, identity, and cultural expression. Join us for this symposium to celebrate the voices and histories that continue to shape the Southern textile landscape.
