Spun Studio, Sistering’s innovative social enterprise, offers marginalized women and gender diverse people a chance to earn supplemental income in a creative, collaborative and healing environment.

Spun Studio is a textile studio supporting women and gender-diverse individuals affected by homelessness, poverty, trauma, and social isolation by providing alternative economic and community development opportunities. Participants, who have been marginalized from mainstream economic avenues, engage in creating sewn, knit, woven, crocheted, and felted items. They enhance their skills through classes and workshops and complete small orders under a studio instructor’s supervision. Additionally, the bi-weekly Entrepreneur Mentorship Group teaches participants to design, make, and sell their products, fostering community, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging.

Spun Shop

Although studio members often sell at various pop up events across the city, we are excited to announce the launch of our online store to provide further opportunities for our creative participants to showcase and sell their work all year round.

Each item in the Spun Shop is handmade by a Spun Studio member. When you make a purchase, you will not only be receiving a unique, quality item but you will be directly supporting participants.
