C’ville Arts is excited to present the high quality, hand-made, fine craftworks produced by Innisfree Village. The community will share an impressive collection of designs from their Woodshop and Weavery.

Innisfree Village is a life-sharing community with adults with intellectual disabilities located in Crozet, VA. They have been there since 1971, over 50 years! Each workday, community members work together in the woodshop and weavery, as well as the gardens, bakery, farm, art studio, and community kitchen. This work contributes to a feeling of pride in community and personal accomplishment, as well as building specific skills.
The Weavery uses all natural fibers, and dyes some of the yarns, creating a striking combination of colors. They have a variety of floor and table looms for weaving. The Woodshop uses only native hardwoods and oil finishes, which allow the natural beauty of the wood to be enjoyed. They pay attention to details, and take great pride in their work, and it shows.
Their work is highly popular offering both beauty and functionality. It makes wonderful gifts for any occasion and will bring a sense of gratitude to any house or home even if it’s your own!
