March 25, 2021

Important announcement:

It is with great sadness that I share news of the passing of my father, Charles Botero, owner of Forma, on March 17, 2021.

Charles was well known, and highly respected expert and resource in the weaving/fiber community for over 50 years.

We look forward to the possibility of holding a memorial this summer, when things are safer for those participating.

I know you have many questions about the future of Forma. At this point the shop will remain closed as we determine the best path forward.

Thank you for your support of Charles and the Forma business over the years, and your patience as we determine next steps.

With a heavy heart,

Guy Botero

Visit Us!

We'll admit it, we are sort of out of the way...

But we're really not that hard to find!

Get off US-23 North or South at exit 49
Take Whitmore Lake Rd south to Joy Road
Follow Joy back over US-23 and then turn immediately left onto East Northfield Church Road.
Take Northfield Church until it makes a sharp right turn. At the bend of this turn is our driveway, marked out by an old stone gate.

IMPORTANT!

Joy Rd is unpaved; so it is always best to come by way of Whitmore Lake Road.
