People have been making woven cloth for thousands of years and using it for clothing, housing decoration, and many other things. Participants will create a small weaving on a hand loom called a pin loom. They will be able to make a bookmark, trivet, or any other small woven object in a square or rectangular format. How they use it or what its function is will be up to their imagination.
Free! Please RSVP the number of individuals and the time you plan to stop by to jwacker@iup.edu.
This event is part of Remake Learning Days, the innovative learning festival for youth and families that is now celebrating its tenth year. Taking root in regions across the world, thousands of hands-on learning events are designed for kids of all ages at libraries, schools, tech centers, parks, museums, play spaces, community centers, and more.
This Pin Loom Workshop is sponsored by ArtsPath at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, one of 14 Arts-in-Education organizations in the state that partner with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts in providing AIE services—primarily long-term artist residencies in schools and communities—to specific geographic regions. ArtsPath coordinates artist residencies in Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Indiana, and Jefferson counties.
Today’s artist is lifelong fiber artist extraordinaire and state-rostered teaching artist Sandy Trimble.
