Community Weaving Project Launch and Demonstration

Drop in to learn how to weave with Cambridge Art Galleries.

Much like a tapestry, the city of Cambridge is made of countless threads woven together in unexpected ways. The original communities of Galt, Hespeler, and Preston are the warp threads connected by the weft of shared experience and identity. As Cambridge grows, its citizens add new threads to the fabric of the city. These unique threads complement and contrast each other to form a dynamic tapestry.
 
Participate by weaving colourful strips of fabric into an oversized loom to create a community tapestry representing the city of Cambridge. Cambridge Art Galleries staff will demonstrate and teach fabric weaving techniques. No registration necessary!
 
Tapestry of Cambridge: Community Weaving Project is offered in conjunction with Next In Fibre: 20th Anniversary of Fibreworks at Queen’s Square Gallery (August 24 to November 10, 2024) and Fibreworks 20th Anniversary Collection Show at Preston Gallery (September 7 to December 1, 2024).
