Celebrate the opening weekend of You Stretched Diagonally Across It with an afternoon of hands-on weaving exploration. After viewing the exhibition, learn the fundamentals of tapestry weaving with guidance from FWM’s teaching artists. We’ll experiment with a variety of yarns, colors, and textures while creating a small woven piece to take home. Several weaving stations will be available, including simple tapestry looms and an interactive process lab where visitors can explore the mechanics of weaving and discover how cloth is constructed. 

Organized in conjunction with the exhibition You Stretched Diagonally Across It
