Weaving and Wine!

Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse supports Pittsburgh's creative infrastructure by providing materials and inspiration for hundreds of amazing projects every year.  We have a shop where everyone can get resources for their artwork, inventions, homes, and classrooms, and we lead fun hands-on workshops to help you learn how "waste" can be fuel for art and education.  Our mission is to inspire creativity, conservation, and community engagement through reuse.

Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse

Join Creative Reuse artist, educator, and weaving superstar, Laura Ramie, for a fun night of demonstrations, hands-on making, delicious snacks, and tasty wine, all in the comfort of the beautiful new Ten Thousand Villages space in Squirrel Hill!
Laura will guide you through several techniques that you can use to create your very own loom and wall-hanging with reclaimed materials. She will demonstrate the skills necessary to create a sturdy, attractive, and successful weaving made with thread to tubes to wire to trim and more!
Enjoy delicious snacks and a glass or two of wine, and let the creativity flow!
All supplies and tools you will need for your loom and weaving will be provided and plentiful, and as a bonus, are completely reclaimed materials from Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse. Upcycling is fun - and you'll have a great backstory to tell about your beautiful piece to future admirers!
Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse is so excited to join Ten Thousand Villages in celebrating the ages old pasttime of crafting and skill-sharing in the company of others while enjoying great conversation and great snacks and drinks!
