All artists, designers, researchers, craftspeople, and interdisciplinary thinkers and makers interested in integrating cloth that heals into their practice are encouraged to apply. You do not need to have a background in textiles (but if you do, that’s great too). We learn and unlearn together.

Residents will have access to about 20 acres to explore and wild harvest in the walnut mountain range – free of charge – from a Monday-Saturday. We provide 1 private session to support the proposed project. Residents must purchase their own food (they will have access to a shared outdoor kitchen and a small fridge). Residents have access to a table loom, floor loom, tapestry looms, spinning wheel, dye pots, felting mats, a sewing machine, table space and other fiber art related tools. The Fiberhouse facilitator(s) will provide ample support in sourcing materials.

The week-long stay can culminate in a small group workshop to be hosted at the Fiberhouse. Workshop topics should relate to each residents’ personal practice and proposed project. Any workshop fees collected will be used to cover the costs of the residents’ stay. Alternatively, residents can lend a hand on the land during the morning or evening (about 6 hours total during the 5 day stay) for worktrade.

Starting in 2025 we will host one Spring + one Fall resident annually. We receive many more proposals than we can accept at this time.
