Craft & Chat w/ Three Rivers Fibershed
Work on your craft while taking part in a discussion led by folks from Three Rivers Fibershed about the intersections of sustainable fashion, textile production, and fiber crafts.
About Three Rivers Fibershed
The vision of Fibershed is a call to make textiles a different way, reimagine the clothing industry, and protect the environment through soil to soil fiber production. These soil-to-soil systems focus on local labor, local fiber, and local natural dyes. It is our mission to abolish unjust textile systems and create in their place strong, decentralized textile economies that build from the resources within our own communities. The Three Rivers Fibershed, an affiliate branch of Fibershed, is working to develop regional fiber systems that build soil health, feed into our local textile and clothing production, and protect the wellbeing of our biosphere through fostering community and committing to public education. While our strategic geography is centered in Minneapolis, it extends out in a 175 mile radius, including portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota.

What to Expect
When you enter the library, head downstairs and find us in the big meeting room.
There is a small lot behind the library, and street parking is available.
We have the room from 5-7pm, so we will likely spend a few minutes getting set up at the beginning. Feel free to trickle in!
Come alone or invite a friend - you'll be in good company!
Be kind - we're new to this :)
