September Workshops
THE FABRIC SOCIETY WORKSHOPS
for adults and children
The Fabric Society is dedicated to educating and inspiring youth and the larger community to discuss the inherent interconnectedness of human and natural life and its role in the textile industry.
All workshops are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy where children are protagonists in their own learning and are encouraged to create their own designs and formulate their own ideas. It is our intention to create a space where children's thoughts and ideas have great significance and influence in the larger community. We see creative workshops as the perfect tool to collaborate, explore materials, form relationships, share knowledge, and explore endless creative expression.
