During this two-hour workshop, participants will explore the art of hand-weaving on a cardboard loom, led by artist Bryana Bibbs. Participants are encouraged to bring non-traditional materials such as old tees, ties, jeans, plastic bags, fabric, etc. Never woven before? No problem! This class is for all skill levels.

This event is presented in conjunction with the Design Museum of Chicago's current exhibition, A Designed Life: Contemporary American Textiles, Wallpapers, and Containers & Packaging, 1951–1954, from University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture (CADVC). A Designed Life is curated by Margaret Re and organized by the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, UMBC with support from the Coby Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and Knoll, Inc. A Designed Life is open until September 19 and can be viewed daily from 11am–4pm at our Expo 72 gallery at 72 E Randolph St.
