Supplying Passion: A Mini Documentary

By Alice Buckley and Lindsey Cook

New River Art & Fiber is a small business in Blacksburg, Virginia, owned and operated by a Virginia Tech alumna. While still relatively new on the downtown scene, the shop has become a staple for locals and a home base for many of Virginia Tech’s architecture and industrial design students. 

Two of these students give us a glimpse into what it takes to be an architecture student, and share why the shop often serves as a lifeline for them.
