About This Event
✨Join us for the Plain Weaving Workshop at Villa Terrace Art Museum on August 15th from 6:00- 8:00 pm. This workshop asks people of all ages to come together for a guided workshop on plain weaving. Plain weaving is the process of the over-and-under passing of treads to create a criss-cross pattern.
Mira Dahms, a 2024 Villa Terrace curatorial intern, will lead the step-by-step workshop. Dahms is a student at UW-Madison studying Art History and has a passion for arts and crafts.
🧶A brief history of weaving:
The history of weaving is one that women largely dominate. Women from all over the world from many different cultures created useful and decorative objects through masterful weaving. A practice that transitioned from branches, twigs, and plant fibers to wool, cotton, and acrylic, weaving is a craft that is enjoyed by many.
Recommended for ages 12 and up.
