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.

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