Handmade ‘n Hot is proud to be the official partner of several non-profit organizations that are improving the lives of people who are socially and economically disadvantaged. Those organizations are specialized in educating artisans, and supporting them.

About Threadbender Textiles

Threadbender Textiles is a 501 (c) (3) Non-Profit Tax Exempt Public Benefit Corporation.

Threadbender Textiles exist to enrich the lives of adults with diverse abilities by fostering community and purpose through the creation of textile arts.

Weavers of diverse abilities have the opportunity to learn practical textile skills that are useful at home, as a hobby, for gift giving, and earn supplemental income through selling high quality products to our customers.

At Threadbender Textiles, the students are supplied with the tools, materials, and instruction needed to learn a variety of textile techniques. This leads to an awareness of personal achievement, life enrichment, and the confidence necessary to engage the broader community.
