ABOUT JUDI |
In 2011, Judi Jetson gathered with a small group of fiber artists and farmers around a conference table at HandMade in America with a shared belief: that local fiber deserved to be more visible, more valued, and more economically viable. What began as a conversation grew into Local Cloth — now a vibrant regional network of more than 700 members across the Blue Ridge Mountains Fibershed. As a founding leader, Judi helped shape the organization’s commitment to education, collaboration, and adding value to local raw materials. Through growth, relocation, expansion, and the rebuilding following Hurricane Helene, Judi’s steady leadership has remained rooted in one principle: local fiber — and the people who work with it — matter. |
