Weaving with the Forest: Branch Weaving (08 July 2026)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Step into the quiet intelligence of the forest and learn the intuitive art of branch weaving. In this hands-on class, we’ll work with fallen branches and natural fibers to create simple woven forms—sculptural, functional, or symbolic—guided by the materials themselves. This is not about forcing nature into a design, but about listening: noticing the curve of a branch, the tension between fibers, and the way the forest already knows how it wants to be woven. You’ll learn basic branch-weaving techniques, how to select and prepare materials, and how to let structure emerge organically rather than from a rigid plan. Expect a slow, grounding experience that blends craft, mindfulness, and relationship with place. No prior weaving experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to work with what’s present.

Kugurizashi Sashiko: Layered Stitching and Woven Texture (11 July 2026)

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Kugurizashi is a fascinating variation within the tradition of Sashiko. Instead of creating pattern solely through running stitches, kugurizashi adds a second stage in which thread is woven through an existing stitched grid, producing richly dimensional designs that can resemble braids, beads, or interlaced cords. In this 6-hour workshop, fiber artists will learn how a simple stitched grid becomes the foundation for layered patterning. After a brief introduction, students will mark and stitch a base grid using traditional sashiko running stitch, focusing on rhythm, spacing, and stitch consistency.

Participants will then explore several weaving pathways that transform the same stitched structure into different decorative motifs.

During the class, students will complete two stitched samples: a foundational kugurizashi pattern and a second variation that demonstrates how multiple designs can emerge from the same grid. Students will leave with two finished studies, practical techniques, and inspiration for incorporating kugurizashi into their own textile work.

Level: Intermediate

Members: $110

Non members: $132

Instructor: Gail Clement (Read Gail's bio)

Materials fee: $40 cash or venmo (to be collected day of workshop)

Natural Dye Interest Group (19 July 2026)

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Indigo!

Look ma, no mordant!

We know of the dark blue of blue jeans, and the somewhat involved process used to obtain it. But with fresh and dried leaves, it is possible to get lighter, brighter blues just with water and leaves. The fresh techniques perform best on silk and nylon, and while it also works on other protein fibers, the colors are pale to nonexistent on cellulose.

We will make the basic blue blender bath from leaves we harvest from the Local Cloth dye garden. Then we will make a purple bath by boiling.

For any indigoid, no mordant is needed. For colors other than blue, either temperature or other chemicals are needed. We will use dried Indigofera tinctoria leaves and temperature to get purple.

While we are waiting for the baths, we will use an embossing machine to press the color out of some leaves, onto cotton.

As usual bring some handwork with you as well as any show and tell you have.

Being the Neon Sheep - Rug Hooking Trivet Workshop (20 July 2026)

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Are you a bit more colorful than the rest? Or quietly different in a way that only you notice?

In this beginner-friendly rug hooking class, we’ll create an **8" square trivet** featuring a cozy cluster of sheep — with **one unmistakably neon sheep** nestled among the flock. Bright or subtle, bold or barely-there, that sheep gets to be *yours*.

You don’t have to be loud to stand out. And you don’t have to stand out to belong.

We’ll walk through:

* Rug hooking basics (perfect for first-timers)

* Some more intermediate techniques for those who are curious

* Working simple shapes and fluffy textures

* Choosing colors that feel right for *you* — classic neutrals **or** a pop of neon

* Finishing a functional trivet you’ll actually use (or gift)

If being bright isn’t your thing, no worries — keep your palette soft and traditional. If you’re craving a little glow? We’ve got that too.

This class is less about perfection and more about permission: to be different, to be subtle, to be exactly as colorful as you want to be.

Come hook, laugh, and make something warm, useful, and quietly (or wildly) rebellious. ✨

Level: Beginner

Instructor: Kirsten Bonanza (Read Kirsten's bio)

Members: $110

Non Members: $132

Materials fee: $25 for the materials, if you need a rug hook those will be available for $19 cash, check, venmo, or zelle (to be paid day of the workshop)

This hands-on workshop introduces knitters to working in the round using the magic loop method while reinforcing Continental-style knitting.

* Finishing a functional trivet you’ll actually use (or gift)

If being bright isn’t your thing, no worries — keep your palette soft and traditional. If you’re craving a little glow? We’ve got that too.

This class is less about perfection and more about permission: to be different, to be subtle, to be exactly as colorful as you want to be.

Come hook, laugh, and make something warm, useful, and quietly (or wildly) rebellious. ✨

Helene Waterline Project Dedication (27 September 2026)

Sun, 27 Sep 2026 21:30:00 GMT

On September 27, 2024, Hurricane Helene flooded our Studio, leaving a waterline nearly 11 feet up our walls. Two years later, to the day, we gather to dedicate what our community has made of that mark.

The Helene Waterline Project is a permanent, collective installation created from individual works of fiber art contributed by Local Cloth members.

Each 2" x 6" piece — in every fiber medium and technique imaginable — joins a continuous line encircling the Studio at the height the water reached, transforming a record of loss into something lasting, beautiful, and shared.

Join us as we dedicate the installation, honor the stories woven into it, and celebrate the resilience of our fiber community.

More details on the evening's program to follow.

Fleece to Fiber (30 October 2026)

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Start where it actually begins — with freshly shorn (dirty) wool.

In **Fleece to Fiber**, we begin with raw, unwashed fleece and walk step-by-step through the transformation into usable yarn. This is a hands-on, practical class designed to build real confidence working with wool in its natural state.

You won’t just hear about the process — you’ll do it.

We Begin With Cleaning

Each participant will receive**raw, unwashed wool** to practice

* Cleaning

* Washing/scouring techniques that clean without felting

* Proper temperature control and handling

* Drying methods

Spinning in the Grease

Before everything is perfectly washed and fluffy, we’ll briefly explore **spinning in the grease**: This gives you a real understanding of fiber behavior at different stages.

Carding Clean Wool

You will also receive **cleaned wool** to practice:

* Opening and fluffing fiber aka picking & flicking

* Combing & Hand carding

You’ll feel the difference between raw, washed, and fully prepared fiber — which is the key to discovering what kind of yarn you want to create.

From Fiber to Usable Product

We’ll finish by drafting and spinning prepared fiber into yarn using:

* Drop spindle (great for beginners)

* Spinning wheel (bring your own)

What You’ll Leave With

* Hands-on experience cleaning raw fleece

* Practice spinning both in the grease and from fiber you prepare

* Carded wool ready for spinning

* Confidence to process those fleeces you've been eyeing on your own

No prior experience required. All materials provided.

There is something deeply satisfying about working from fleece to finished fiber. Once you understand the whole process, you’ll never look at yarn the same way again.

Level: Beginner

Instructor: Kirsten Bonanza (Read Kirsten's bio)

Members: $110

Non Members: $132

Materials fee: $40 cash or venmo (to be paid day of the workshop)

Materials provided by instructor: Unwashed fleece, Washed fleece, soap, a mesh bag, a variety of carders and combs (to borrow)

Students should bring: Please bring drop spindles, and/or cards/ combs if you have them

Fri, 20 Nov 2026 19:00:00 GMT

The Sashiko and Boro Interest Group at Local Cloth Fiber Studio in Asheville offers a welcoming space for fiber enthusiasts to explore and celebrate the rich traditions of Japanese hand-stitching. Each monthly gathering will provide opportunities to refresh foundational techniques, participate in stitchalong projects, and discover the artistry behind sashiko and boro through profiles of notable makers and exhibits. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.

Beyond technique, the group will highlight current trends and innovations in the sashiko world, from new tools and products to contemporary interpretations of traditional practices. Members will enjoy lively discussions, hands-on exploration, and a supportive community that values both the meditative process and the expressive potential of rhythmic stitching. Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.

Materials supplied by participants: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, any finished projects for show and tell as well as yarn acquisitions and new project ideas.

Skill level: Beginners and experienced stitchers welcome!
