Textile Center

Free street parking. Bonus points for sure This place was very lovely, you ring the buzzer to get buzzed in and you get to explore the wonderful creations from so many artists using many styles of art. These were like some I have never seen before and it made me realize why fashion icons love their work. It was neat and clean, and customer service was informative

My review is lon overdue! I've been there a couple of times..once I was there around the Christmas season and there was a holiday artists' market set up with scarves, jewelry, ornaments, set up of high quality! ars Sorry I forgot to take pics on that one...it was a few years ago..but I'm sure it still would be an awesome time again to visit around the season!I did see some spinning in action on another time (pictured).A very unique and interesting center to visit!

Amazing exhibits, with so much details and surprises. Took a class there, great experience. Wonderful instructor and laidback vibe.

A wonderful resource for the fiber enthusiast. Spinning, weaving, knitting etc, equipment, materials and books for sale along with an extensive vending library, workshops and classes. On site gallery, shoes and craft sales. Parking and lite rail accessible.

A national center for all things fiber and textile art--free exhibits, classes, youth summer camp and older adult programs, a shop of handmade treasures to die for. What an awesome place to visit. Thank you!

If you're into weaving or fabric or experiencing artsy things in general, definitely come to this textile center! There are lots of pieces to look at with detailed descriptions included! They have classes available, I saw two rooms filled with looms that made my heart happy as well as a basket weaving class with a Mexican food carrier in to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! There is also a cool, little gift shop!

Today was the first time I visited the Textile Center...my reason for visiting was because Yelp is co-sponsoring a clothing swap here with MN Fashion Org in April during Spring Fashion Week. Ahh, a great discovery. .I wish I had known about this place last Christmas...This place is a true gem. It houses a weavers guild, a shop, a quilting guild, a library devoted to fiber arts, and a museum. I'm sure there are a few other things they have here that I didn't have the time to stumble upon either. I wish I were craftier...really I do. I walked around here today imaging myself immersed in a project or class, working dilligently on some fabulous project. Alas, I'm no longer delusional about my craft and fiber skills and know that unless I can afford to purchase such art, I'll never own it as my skill set and patience just don't allow for it.Come here to browse, be inspired or to purchase a great piece of art. If you have an appreciation for all things fiber, you'll love it here.I now know where I'm going next Christmas for gifts -- I may even sign up loved ones for some classes that I know they would appreciate.

If urban scavenging and crafts are your jam, you'll love the annual Textile Garage Sale put on by the Textile Center. Nothing is more refreshing than to watch dozens of mostly women flip though patterns, peruse magazines, and forage through mounds of yarn, fabric, and more. It's even more fun when you are part of that throng. Pluses are spotting patient partners, who are mustering their utmost courage to stand by their beloved and also hold all their found treasures.You can go early on a Friday, pay $25 and first pickings. I thought I was losing out by coming out on a Saturday and paying a buck for entry, but still found AMAZING THINGS. Vintage wool and silks in pleasing patterns and a boss ikat scarf. All for $30. Easily would have cost me over a hundred bucks. I'm pretty sure they were putting MORE stuff out throughout the afternoon.If you do have stashes of fabric, yarn, or patterns, this is the perfect time to unload. Face it, that bolt/spool/machine is pretty cool but you're never going to do anything with it. So why not let someone who would use it come across it? You will be like an anonymous fairy godmother.You will need to patience and an allergy pill. Also it's BYOB (bring your own bag). Location varies; last year it was at the Textile Center, this year it was at the UMN ReUse warehouse. But if you are a crafter, it's totally worth it.

I ride by this place on the bus everyday to and from work and finally stopped in over Christmas to check it out. Wow! They had a great holiday artists' market set up with wares from many local artists. Scarves, kids' clothes, jewelry, ornaments, etc. Some things were a little spendy but definitely worth it due to the quality.They also run some great classes for reasonable prices including a class on upcycled materials. Sounds awesome!

This was my first visit to the Textile Center. I saw the Prince themed exhibit and all of the.quilts were amazing. The area was brightly lit from overhead lighting and the floor to ceiling front windows. There is an amazing shop close to the front entrance. They have a library and classes.
