Weaving Calm: Paper, Process, & Presence

Looking to explore a new craft that's affordable, sustainable, and calming? Join us for a hands-on paper weaving workshop to learn (or revisit) a simple weaving technique while experimenting with imagery and composition. We’ll discuss the history of women’s roles in crafting, as well as the meditative qualities of artmaking and the value of slowing down through creative practice, as you develop your own unique woven piece, All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is needed. Come discover how transforming ordinary materials can become an exercise in creativity, mindfulness, and letting go. Facilitated by Madeleine Chesek-Welch, University Library System
