The Fábrica
The Fábrica is a new cooperative workspace for textile arts here in Santa Cruz. The Fábrica is a place to work on projects or learn to sew, knit, etc. We house tools and materials for creating projects, including sewing machines, salvaged materials, and reference books. We offer focused topical classes, as well as open shop time to work on projects or sit around stitching with others. And we're especially excited to help people fix, re-purpose and reuse! Our current open-shop hours are Mondays 4-7pm, Tuesdays 10am-1pm, Thursdays 2-5pm, Saturdays 4-7pm and Sundays 6-9pm. Come by to pick up a calendar or check out our website! Donations of any textile arts tools/materials or financial contributions are greatly appreciated.
