Something new is coming to NJ Fibershed for the 2024 season.  Introducing Shed Talks!!!  Shed Talks is an educational series of Programs offered by NJ Fibershed with topics alternating between fiber farming info and maker info.  Topics range from acquiring, raising, and caring for fiber animals, crafting/foraging, and growing dye plants, and that’s just some of the topics for this year.

This series will run once a month from January 28, 2024 through May 19, 2024.  We have amazing presenters lined up for each month.  Our first program will be via Zoom, but the remainder of the Programs will be in person and on Zoom, so if you can’t join us in person, Zoom is an option.  Seating is limited for some in person talks, so make sure to sign up to secure your seat!!!

Signup is needed but attendance is free for NJ Fibershed Members.  Non-members may attend for $15, the price of a Community Supporter membership (and attend any other programs at the member rate during 2024).  There are attendee limits for some of the in person talks but no limit on attendees via  Zoom for each monthly talk.  Details (Zoom link, location for in person) will be sent roughly 1 week ahead of the talk.

We look forward to seeing you!!!

Signup for one or all talks – put each talk you’d like to attend in your cart one at a time, then View Cart to review your selections.  Non-members, select Non-member status for the 1st talk you’d like to attend, then select Member for any additional talks.
