The Rainbow Nook
About
The Rainbow Nook is a fiber arts store in Jamaica Plain that bills itself as JP’s fiber arts thrift store. It is part materials thrift shop, part gallery for local artists and part lesson space, with the aim of offering something for every artist. Crafters can browse secondhand materials for their projects, see work by local artists and sign up for classes, all in the same space.
Classes are a big part of the shop’s activity. It has partnered with Shean King, a New England drag artist with more than 17 years of experience in garment construction and 12 years of teaching fiber arts, to offer sewing instruction aimed at turning wild ideas into wearable art. The shop also runs events beyond its walls, such as an embroidery crafternoon held at Ula Cafe.
