Jump into the exciting world of fiber arts weaving! In this fun and relaxing hands-on workshop, you will learn how to make your own small frame loom and design a woven wall hanging. You will explore weaving techniques, and experiment with color, pattern and texture to create a one-of-a-kind work of fiber art. This is a one-session, two hour workshop. Participants will learn how to make their own weaving on a portable small frame loom. Each person will receive a mini loom kit to continue weaving at home or on the go!
Facilitator: Lucia Alber (BFA Tyler School of Art 2016) is a Philadelphia-based artist and educator whose work combines sculptural and traditional fiber processes to create detailed installations, objects, and weavings. Alber’s work engages satire and humor to address perceptions of queerness through the scope of media and religion and the ways in which our dreams, memory and subconscious unpack and impact our identities. Lucia’s works have been commissioned and shown throughout Philadelphia and beyond. She currently teaches classes at Fleisher Art Memorial, Tacony Labs, and Allens Lane Art Center.
