Turning the Tables Community Weaving ProjectWeave with us on a flipped table top loom! These workshops will be facilitated by the artist and provide step-by-step instruction on how to take part in this community weaving project. All supplies and materials are provided, and no prior experience is required. (Want to participate but not able to join us during a workshop? Visit the gallery during our open hours Saturdays 12-5pm from Aug 9-Sept 6 and our staff will be able to assist.)Final weavings will be raffled to raise funds for families in Gaza. This method of weaving comes from Joyce Scott, a Baltimore-based artist, and uses a table flipped upside down to create a portable loom. Multiple people can weave together in communion.Watch a video of Joyce Scott explaining how to weave using this method <a href="https://youtu.be/yiTFbmr0Y4o?feature=shared" title="https://youtu.be/yiTFbmr0Y4o?feature=shared" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
