about Fabric Workshop and Museum:

The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) is a very small, unique museum with rotating exhibits that focus on fabric design, use, and artistic qualities. It's a bright, open space with tall divider walls that hold the display cases. The maze created by these walls provides great running strips for little kids, so be forewarned!

Exhibits change often, so this is a good spot for short, frequent trips. Current exhibits are often accompanied by lectures and artist presentations offering a unique opportunity for discussion between the artist and audience.

FWM Family Programs feature hands-on activities designed to spark interest, arouse curiosity, and encourage children and adults to learn about art and culture together. Workshops allow families time and space to share in the creative process and expression inside and outside the museum walls.

Call ahead if you are a large group and a special Study Tour can be set up. This interesting tour shows off the print studios, dye and pigment mixing rooms, current exhibition and is led by a knowledgeable guide. Study Tours must be booked at least two weeks in advance. Due to space limitations groups must be limited to 30 or fewer.

tips:

The Workshop is located close to the Please Touch Museum, Franklin Institute, and the Academy of Natural Sciences, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop by for a quick peek!
