Textiles

Evoking the history of the Sawtooth building as a hosiery factory, our textiles studio celebrates fiber traditions and preserves them for future generations. Classes and workshops focus on dyeing, felting, spinning, and weaving. We also regularly offer basketry, crochet, stitching, and sewing workshops for people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. Our textiles studio has 8 floor looms, including 5 Leclerc looms with 6 treadles and 4 harnesses. Our dye studio has a fully equipped kitchen for preparing dyes and working with an array of fibers.

Check out our additional textiles and mixed media studio at the Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness for more classes and offerings.

STUDIOS AT THE INTERGENERATIONAL CENTER FOR ARTS AND WELLNESS

Sawtooth School for Visual Art is proud to be a founding partner of the Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness (Generations Center), a new 62,500-square-foot, state-of-the-art community center in Winston-Salem. Led by Senior Services, and bringing together 21 community partners, this unprecedented collaboration is the first of its kind to bring various organizations under one roof to offer healthcare, intergenerational interaction, and arts-based activities to the community at large.

Sawtooth’s two dedicated studio spaces at Generations Center act as an extension of our Ceramics, Textiles, and Art + Wellness programs, with classes, workshops, and drop-in activities scheduled regularly throughout the year.

Generations Center is located at 114 West 30th Street in Winston-Salem, NC.
