This past weekend, Jeff Crews held a textile workshop. Several members showed up to work on a variety of projects, ranging from a an old-style greatcoat by Jeff to draft stoppers and other smaller prototypes.

Jeff made great use of the open space in the makerspace to lay out his yards of heavy wool for his great coat and get it cut into the pieces he needed.

I was there working on a project for a design course, making a rough prototype of an accessory storage system.

We also had people working on jewelry storage projects and draft stoppers.

It was a really successful workshop. If you’re interested in textile projects, swing by on a Tuesday night or email us to find out when another workshop or similar event might be happening.
