Join our Clothing and Textiles Coalition on Thursday, September 16th from 5:30-7:30 pm at Lobo Mau Studios (Bok Building, suite 501) for an educational workshop and networking event where attendees will learn firsthand the steps that go into making clothes, taught by local makers in the industry.

The Makers will demonstrate step by step how locally grown flax can be made into useable fiber, spun into yarn, woven into textiles, screen printed, cut and finally sewn into garments like those hanging in our closets.

After the demonstrations, guests will have the opportunity to speak with the makers and try the process themselves!

Refreshments will be served, including local wine from Cellar Best Winehouse, local dairy cheese from Perrystead Dairy and local vegan cheese from Conscious Cultures.

Proof of vaccination is required to attend this event. A picture of the card will be accepted along with photo ID at the door. Masks required for all guests.
