Open House for 408 Depot St.

It has been a decade-long dream for our local fiber advocacy group to independently steward our own space and now it's happening! Join us on Saturday, June 12th from 10 am - 5pm for a day of celebration. There will have make and takes, demos, music and snacks. We invite you to stop in and reintroduce yourself.  

Members:  Saturday evening, we want to invite you to celebrate with us at an Open House After Party from 5 - 7pm. We will have music, sweet treats, and fiber art galore! We'll be joined by the Shiver Show, brushing the dust of time off the ‘Old Familiar Songs’ of old time Country Music! Chance and Susette Shiver (vocals and guitars) will be joined by Tom Hanchett on fiddle and Fred Mock on upright bass to bring you country swing songs and tunes. Snack on some muffins and lemonade while mingling with your fellow members and Local Cloth team.

About the space:

Our new community-centered space will feature products from throughout our Blue Ridge Mountains fibershed (100 mile radius around Asheville) and bring attention to the rich offerings of our region’s designers, farmers, artists and makers. The new Local Cloth space will feature a classroom, studios, dye lab, and exhibit and retail space showcasing locally sourced items, to serve fiber artists, students, enthusiasts and the general public. 

In addition to the new space, we recently launched an online marketplace, Shop Local Cloth, to support our mission to bring climate-benefitting fiber to our regions closets, gardens, and studios. We plan to expand our marketplace, with a dynamic store front in our new space, where members and passers by alike can see what our regional fiber community has to offer. 

FREE EVENT! We can't wait to see you there!
