Weaving is a craft that is thousands of years old and crosses every culture. Not only is it a means to produce cloth for clothes and other necessary items, but can also be used to create art! Weaving involves the interlacing of threads on a loom and in this workshop, you will learn the basics of weaving on your own cardboard loom. Participants in this workshop are encouraged to also explore alternative materials to weave with, such as fabric strips, paper, and plastic bags! Tickets are $20/member and $25/nonmember. Reserve your ticket via MassMu's Eventbrite page, www.MassillonMuseum.org/Tickets, or call 330-833-4061. To learn more about the NEA Big Read in Massillon, visit www.MassillonMuseum.org/BigRead. The NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
