Community Outreach
In our Fabric Arts Studio members share time, skills, ideas and fun while working on projects to be donated to the community. Check out where our donated work goes Community Involvement.
Members regularly participate in the repair fairs held monthly in Richmond. These help others see how to do simple repairs and keep clothing out of the landfill.
To learn more about repair fairs check out this link.
Open Studio or UFO (Unfinished Fabric Objects)
(Unfinished Fabric Objects) Members bring their creative energy to work on personal projects.
Events
Monthly meetings have either ‘Show and Tell‘ – an informal way of learning from each other or Speakers that inspire us with their creative work. Formal and informal Workshops offer formal learning opportunities. Check our Calendar for an overview of upcoming events. See here for Events details .
Get in on all our activities by becoming a member —
here’s how!
We receive donations of fabrics from quilters as well as relatives and friends of quilters and sewers who have health issues and can no longer sew. Some donations come from people who are moving and don’t want to pack it with them. We use donations of big and small pieces of cotton fabric, as well as partially completed projects. The recipients are very grateful. (Where donations go). When we have more fabric than we can use, members may take some for personal projects and the rest goes to the hospital thrift store.
