Join Linda Ruggiero for an afternoon of up-cycling textile scraps into a beautiful woven wall hanging! In this 3-hour workshop you will learn the basics of hand weaving and will get to create a unique wall hanging to take home. We will explore different options for loom weaving, and you will be able to create your own loom from ordinary household items such as picture frames, cardboard and other materials.
No experience needed; all materials provided. If you have your own fabric or yarn scraps that you would like to use, please feel free to bring them.
3 hours long with a maximum of 8 participants. (12 years and older)

She is currently focused on creating zero-waste textiles while experimenting with nontraditional looms. These looms include recycled materials like broken picture frames and are a part of the finished artwork. She enjoys testing the combined effects of mixed media materials like fabric scraps, previously woven textiles, and plastic packing materials.
