Working Weavers Studio Trail
October 14 & 15, 2023
10 am - 5pm
Working Weavers Studio Trail is a self-guided driving tour of weaving studios along back roads in western MA at the height of fall foliage.
Come explore the handmade textiles that tell the stories of the people who created them. We are weavers dedicated to bringing handwoven textiles into the future. Our mission is to make cloth visible again by producing and selling high quality textiles as well as by presenting the process and the people who make weaving their livelihood.
Adventure is loom-ing!
“I shared the drive with two friends, and we started at the southern end of the trail in Florence and worked our way north through Conway to Shelburne Falls. The drive itself was worth the trip and the fall color was gorgeous. But the best part was talking with the weavers and visiting their studios. Getting to handle, admire, and actually buy their work was the cherry on top of the day.”
