Making is better together.

Located in historic downtown York, PA, Fabric of Society York provides the education, support, space, and supplies that makers need to learn and practice the handicrafts that inspire them.

Fabric of Society York is here to help you thrive in your handicraft practice. Our comprehensive curriculum has been expertly designed to provide you with the all skills you need to express your creativity and craft beautiful handmade items. Our experienced instructors are invested your success, and will encourage and support you every step of the way. If you’ve tried and failed to learn on your own, try a class. You won’t believe the difference a good instructor and a community of learners will make.

Our Studio Workshop offers specialized equipment rentals (sewing machines, sergers, spinning wheels, and cutting table), a Creative Cabinet with an array of handicraft supplies for your creative expression and exploration, a library filled with handicraft books, a Free Yarn Library, and multiple seating areas for you to create in our inspiring space.

Our Studio and online shop also offer a curated selection of supplies and kits for in-store pickup or U.S. shipping.
