Recycled Weaving Workshop

​Join us for a therapeutic evening of weaving your plastic waste into your own wall art with sayo @needsaiii!

​

​They will dive into the basics of tapestry weaving including making an easy DIY loom, setting up a loom, transforming plastic waste into strips of material, and different weaving techniques before weaving away—with hands on support as needed!

​

​Leave the workshop with a one-of-a-kind decorative woven wall hanging and the know-how to continue exploring.

​

​This class is designed for beginners—so all are welcomed! Materials/tools included and each participant will get to take home their cardboard loom to continue weaving with waste!

​

​Optional: Please collect and bring clean plastic packaging waste to repurpose—plastic bottles, bags, caps, strings, nets, used but clean saran wrap, etc—more the merrier! If we don’t end up using it, it can be repurposed for future workshops!
