Buxton Books is excited to be the booksellers for Natalie Chanin, as part of Vivian Howard’s Lenoir Book Club Series!
Each afternoon begins with a cocktail and following the conversation, we’ll have a book signing and meet-and-greet with food and beverage inspired by the book. The event will host Natalie Chanin, founder of Alabama Chanin, a lifestyle company producing well-designed and thoughtfully made goods for the person and the home. The company uses organic and sustainably sourced cotton fabrics along with repurposed and reclaimed materials. Chanin, a slow design pioneer, started the company in early 2000 with the creation of hand-sewn garments made from cotton jersey t-shirts. Alabama Chanin is a leader in elevated craft due to a dedication to tradition and locally sewn garments and goods—both hand and machine-sewn. The company is made up of makers and educators, working to elevate and merge design, craft, and fashion. We’re delighted to celebrate the release of Natalie's sixth book: "Embroidery: Threads and Stories from Alabama Chanin and The School of Making.”
