Textile Center’s Youth Fiber Art Guild™ program, supported by the Rosemary and David Good Family Foundation, provides free fiber art educational activities to organizations and programs in Minneapolis that support youth from systemically marginalized and diverse communities. Participants learn foundational fiber art and textile techniques as they receive live instruction and mentorship from a Textile Center Teaching Artist. All materials are provided to explore and create personalized fiber art creations.
In conjunction with our Youth Fiber Art Guild™ Program, Textile Center creates Youth Guild Kits which are available for purchase through our Shop and as annual subscriptions. These kits are a great way to engage and inspire young fiber art enthusiasts with a seasonal series of curated fiber art activities. Each Youth Guild Kit comes with all the necessary materials as well as printed and video instructions to facilitate self-guided exploration of each activity.
