02. Weaving Connections

Ashville - Spring 2021

The city of Asheville, NC is one embedded with a connection to textiles like no other in the United States. Before the Great Depression, Asheville was the epicenter for the textile industry in the south. Unfortunately to this day the city is still recovering with the economic damage sustained in the 1900’s.

Weaving Connections aims to rekindle the relationship Asheville has with the textile industry. In conjunction with the local non-profit group “Local Cloth” This project aims to provide a space for learning, pro - ducing, and exhibiting workers in the textiles industry. Creating spe - cific programmatic spaces to highlight and accelerate those trying to indulge in what used to be Asheville’s main attraction, weaving connections dedicates a majority of the program for public use. 07
