Upcycled Weaving in the Garden w/ Sayo 🧵
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 like 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!
