Gowanus is best known for the canal that flows through its heart, which happens to be one of the most polluted waterways in the world. The neighborhood around it, however, is one of the most vital and up-and-coming neighborhoods in Brooklyn: a magnet for artists, delicious food, and creative businesses.

Everybody lives in textiles, but not everybody can bring them to life. Brooklyn's Textile Arts Center is the place to learn how, offering classes and studio space to practice sewing, weaving, screen printing, leather working and dyeing. The Sewing Seeds program educates the community about natural dyes. With summer camps, birthday party programs and after school classes, the center is inspiring a new generation of fashionistas and artists.
