Explore the wonders of nature through the ancient craft of weaving with locally sourced materials! From branches to grasses, and stems of flowers, uncover the beauty of your garden or backyard as you learn to create unique woven pieces.
Across civilizations and throughout history, people have crafted textiles, clothing, and shelter using the resources readily available to them. This workshop celebrates this rich tradition of utilizing local materials, showcasing the diversity of forms born from cultural traditions and regional flora.
During our time together, we'll focus on crafting three-dimensional wall hangings using handmade looms of varying sizes. Bring your own collected plant materials, and don't forget to wear closed-toe shoes and bring a refillable water bottle for a sustainable experience.
