Past Events

An event archive will live here as we host workshops, clinics, and trunk shows. We've been in San Mateo since 1956 — we just haven't been keeping the digital scrapbook until now.

Have an event to add?

Submit your event — we'll review it within two days.

We're especially interested in connecting with textile artists, interior designers, antique dealers, estate sale companies, and cultural organizations. If you're not sure whether your event fits, just send it — we'll take a look.

Workshops & Educational Events
Rug identification, natural dye demos, weaving techniques, textile history
Trunk Shows & Pop-Ups
Textile artists, importers, weaving cooperatives — if you have a collection to show, we have space
Community Events
Artisan markets, cultural fairs, estate sales, design shows — if it's rug-adjacent and happening in the Bay Area
Coming Soon

Event submissions opening soon.

In the meantime, reach out and tell us what you'd like to host. We're especially interested in connecting with local artists, designers, and cultural organizations.

Coming Soon

Event updates, soon.

We're setting up a way to send you a once-a-month note when there's a workshop, trunk show, or clinic on the calendar. Until then, follow along on Instagram or send us a note and we'll add you when it's ready.
