Description
Join us for a come-and-go workshop of card weaving with visiting artist Poppy DeltaDawn. Card weaving, or "tablet weaving" is an ancient practice, but easy to learn using a few modern supplies. This activity is great for kids or adults, and no prior weaving experience is necessary!
This event is free and open to the public:
