Weaving for Children
Saturday, May, 2016, 1:00 to 4:00 pm
Triangle Fiber Arts Center (TFAC)

 
 
This event will hopefully be the first of many Children’s Weaving events. We will host up to ten children who expressed interest in weaving during one of TW’s many demonstrations at area craft events. The group will be led by five members of TW- a great ratio of weavers to learners!
 
We will have four floor looms, four back strap looms, and a large frame loom ready to go when the children arrive. Each child will have a chance to weave on a floor loom and take home their pieces.
