The Fiber Art Studio at Create Together at Fletcher Farm has two main areas:
Quilting & Sewing Studio
This studio features seven Bernette b38 sewing machines, a Bernina Q20 sit-down long-arm quilting machine for adding finish stitching to oversized quilts, dedicated spaces for ironing and cutting, and a design wall for planning projects. Create Together.
Weaving Studio
The weaving studio offers an abundance of yarns in wool, silk, cotton, linen, and blends, along with multiple floor looms of various sizes so works-in-progress can remain set up until a project is complete. The loom collection includes four-, six-, and twelve-shaft looms for complex projects, barn looms, and a 65-inch countermarch loom.
To use any studio space or equipment, you must first complete a workshop or an orientation and receive an instructor's sign-off that you understand and are able to utilize our equipment and materials safely, and to our standards.
Studio Access Requirements
Orientation: Attend a workshop or introductory session.
Instructor Approval: Receive an official sign-off on the equipment.
Universal Policy: This rule applies to all studio spaces.
The space is bright and clean, and well-organized. Keeping things this way is essential in any shared studio. General shared-studio best practices that apply here:
- Reserve your time
Create Together is accepting registrations for studio time, so booking in advance rather than just dropping in ensures you will have access, as well as the space you need.
- Warp and wind responsibly
Leave looms in a state someone else can easily work around or that you can resume cleanly.
- Label your projects
if you're leaving work in progress between sessions, so nothing gets disturbed.
- Ask questions —
instructors and fellow members are a resource. The communal environment is meant for learning from each other.
