Aya Fiber Studio: Legacy Opportunity for Sale

For more than 15 years, Aya Fiber Studio has been a nationally recognized destination for fiber arts education. Founded by artist and educator Suzanne Connors, Aya has welcomed students and instructors from across the U.S. and abroad to explore indigo, shibori, eco-printing, surface design, papermaking, book arts, and more.

Now, Aya Fiber Studio is ready for its next chapter. Suzanne is offering the studio for sale, creating a rare opportunity for the right person to carry this legacy forward.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Established reputation — Aya Fiber Studio is known nationally for high-quality workshops, intimate class sizes, and a welcoming creative community.

  • Fully equipped facility — including a dye kitchen, large print tables, sewing machines, looms, and extensive supplies.

  • Proven business model — active workshop calendar, membership program, supply shop, mailing list, and loyal following.

  • Portable structure — because most students already travel for workshops, the business can continue thriving in Stuart or be relocated without disruption.

  • Founder support — Suzanne Connors will remain involved during the transition, offering mentorship, training, and optional guest teaching.

  • Next chapter for Suzanne — while Aya enters new hands, Suzanne will continue her journey through Aizome Studio | Suzanne Connors, focusing on Japanese textiles, education, and international retreats.

Who This Is For

Aya Fiber Studio is ideal for:

  • A fiber artist or educator looking to expand from personal practice into a nationally recognized studio.

  • A creative entrepreneur passionate about textiles, education, and community.

  • An arts organization or collective seeking a turnkey program with an established reputation.

What’s Included in the Sale

  • Aya Fiber Studio name, brand, and reputation.

  • Fully equipped studio and supplies.

  • Website, marketing channels, and robust mailing list.

  • Workshop scheduling systems and membership program.

  • Transition guidance and mentorship from founder Suzanne Connors.
