Textiles are a vibrant expression of skill, style, circumstance, and values across the world and across time. Whether it's the clothing you’re wearing right now, intricate regalia of people long ago, decorations, accessories, and so many more, textiles have evolved to be a richly diverse and insightful aspect of peoples’ lives all across the world and time. 

Consider the effort, intention, and use of textiles, whether you consider them modern or ancient, simple or intricate. They all have a story, whether it's how they are used, what they have witnessed, how they were made, or the personalized value they hold to people that interact with them. 

Join us to attempt to craft your own textiles out of the supplies we have provided for you. Whilst you craft, feel free to learn about, feel, and experience different textiles from all over the world that we will have out for everyone to experience.
