Now Enrolling: Art of Clothing 2026-27 at the Fiber Craft Studio in Chestnut Ridge, NY! 🧶

In this 10-workshop course, we design and sew three garments using natural fibers of cotton, linen, and wool, and make a shawl or scarf using silk to create a complete outfit. Drafting simple patterns and sewing by hand gives us the opportunity to center ourselves and practice a meditative way of working. Over the course of the year, we experience different sewing techniques, plant dyeing, embroidery, and other artistic techniques as we create our own unique fabric and garments.

Each class meeting includes artistic activities that bring enlivening impulses to us individually and as a group. All levels of experience, from beginners to experienced fiber artisans, are welcome.

Late summer is upon us and we're preparing to play and create with the last gifts of this bountiful season 🌼 Join the Fiber Craft Studio for our Late Summer Color Harvesting and Plant Dyeing Workshop at the tail end of summer, on Saturday, September 19th!

This workshop is an introduction to the dye plants and dyeing projects that are characteristic of the end of summer. We will start the day harvesting flowers, leaves, and roots from our biodynamic dye plant garden. As we deepen our acquaintance and receive the beautiful colors of the plants, we feel the healing energy of the plant world.

Back at the Studio, we will dye a variety of natural materials with our harvest: blue hues with fresh Japanese indigo, and yellow, orange, and pink from flowers and roots. Participants will also be able to play with some shibori and eco-printing techniques to create unique fabric or scarves.

All materials are included- organic cotton bandanas, silk or wool scarves, a silk pouch, and dyes from our bio-dynamic garden: Japanese indigo, madder, yellow cosmos, dyer’s coreopsis, and marigold.

🔗 Space is limited. Reserve your spot today: https://www.fibercraftstudio.org/events-workshops

"The Art of Clothing is not only a course in clothing making; it is a beautiful journey of exploration, an opportunity to learn to imbue purpose and intention into each garment, and a way to create with empathy while living into the beautiful art form of clothing design and creation. It is truly a uniquely magical course."
— Zoe, Art of Clothing 2025-26 participant

The journey begins September 26, 2026.

📣 Calling all weavers and want-to-be weavers! We still have space in the Fiber Craft Studio's three-day Rigid Heddle Weaving Workshop, which begins this Sunday, July 12.

Over three sessions, you’ll learn to weave on a 16-inch rigid heddle loom. We’ll direct-warp the loom together, then explore how color, texture, and yarn weight talk to each other as the cloth grows row by row. Each piece that emerges will be entirely your own: a record of your choices, your instincts, your moving hands.

Meeting in person for one week each winter and two weeks each summer over the course of four years, the students of the Applied Arts Program share experiences that shape their work and their lives for years to come.
