STUDIO 24: Chunky Funky Scarves on the Backstrap Loom In-Person
Join Fiber-Artist-in-Residence, Steven Frost or a hands-on weaving experience! Using laser-cut backstrap looms and a selection of upcycled fabric and thrifted yarn, you’ll create the chunkiest, weirdest scarf imaginable. Whether it's for a bold fashion statement or a one-of-a-kind gift, this workshop encourages creativity and experimentation with texture and color. All skill levels welcome, and materials are provided. Bring your wild ideas and leave with a scarf as unique as you are! Age 14+
