Tolley is a fiber artist, quilter, and academic librarian who works at the crossroads of craft, care, and neurodivergent magic. She treats textiles like both a spell and a rebellion—stitching together color, story, sensory delight, and a refusal to make anything that behaves too neatly. With a background in studio art and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, her quilts and embroideries draw on Appalachian and queer traditions of making-do, making-beautiful, and making-trouble. Her work celebrates wandering minds, unruly threads, tactile curiosity, and the wisdom that lives in the body.As an educator, Rebecca builds creative spaces where people feel supported and welcome to explore their curiosity: deep care, good humor, and the freedom to stim, rest, experiment, and come as you are. Her workshops honor neurodivergent rhythms—slow starts, sudden sparks, gentle structure, and collective support—drawing from feminist and DIY punk lineages to show that craft can be both sanctuary and resistance. Students are invited to follow their instincts, break the rules that never served them, and stitch textile worlds that are tender, wild, and wholly their own.Learn more about Rebecca here. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/926107d0-d70b-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w555-h740-dc171617-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/johnson-city/neurodivergent-textiles-sensory-and-story-in-cloth/100001977578907748 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 33, max: 33, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Johnson City - **state**: TN - **country**: United States - **location**: Shakti in the Mountains - **lat**: 36.32664580000001 - **long**: -82.3529614 - **full address**: Shakti in the Mountains, 409 East Unaka Avenue, Johnson City, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Neurodivergent Textiles: Sensory & Story in Cloth - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/b57dd7e743d3092e76dece759b95234441342ea32f6d098f177cfd095c9fcb69-rimg-w1200-h600-dcdebea6-gmir.jpg?v=1765510518 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Neurodivergent Textiles: Sensory & Story in Cloth being held? - **A:** Neurodivergent Textiles: Sensory & Story in Cloth takes place on Sun, 15 Feb, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sun, 15 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Shakti in the Mountains, 409 East Unaka Avenue, Johnson City, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Neurodivergent Textiles: Sensory & Story in Cloth? - **A:** Tickets for Neurodivergent Textiles: Sensory & Story in Cloth are priced at USD 33 per person.
