Join us for this fun, casual program. Together we will explore a new creative project with a guest artist each month. This workshop is suitable for beginners and all supplies are included. Registration is open to 2SLGBTQ+ -identified people in Waterloo Region.

This month we are exploring weaving with artist Alisa McRonald. Weaving creates space for you and your feelings at the same time. It can have a tangible outcome (like a wall hanging or placemat), or be purely for relaxation and play. Either way, it becomes a transcript of your mood and imagination! Using a cardboard loom that we make ourselves, we will go over basic weaving techniques.

This program is offered in partnership with Spectrum, Waterloo Region’s Rainbow Community Space. You can learn more about Spectrum at ourspectrum.com

Alisa McRonald’s woven weirdos live in the ironic pop-culture paradise of a Queer GenX Feminist. Her work is a tactile fruit salad with a soupçon of the esoteric. Her work has been featured in publications such as: The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar Japan, Nylon Magazine and Giant Robot Magazine. She was awarded the 2020 Best of Craft and Design Award from the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.
