Re-Connecting our Region's Textile Heritage through Craft: The Blue Ridge Blankets Project

Join us for a presentation and celebration of the Blue Ridge Blanket project at the Local Cloth Studio in the River Arts District.

The Blue Ridge Blankets project creates a local market for our region's fiber farmers, gives fair compensation to our weavers and dyers, and offers local consumers an opportunity to purchase a beautiful locally sourced product. Judi Jetson, the project director and one of Local Cloth's founders, will discuss how the desire to make fabric from local materials led to this ambitious project.
