Please join Mill Museum Director and Teaching Artist Miriam Block at the Winooski Senior Center to learn more about our upcoming Backstrap Weaving Workshops. Miriam will be sharing more info and demonstrating the backstrap weaving that participants in the workshops will learn how to do.
We encourage older adults who are curious about participating in the weaving workshops to come, find out more, and register for the spring weaving workshops!
The Backstrap Weaving Workshops will be held on Wednesdays from 10-12 in April and May. The workshops are free, but space is limited.
Registration for the workshops is required.
The free weaving workshop series is made possible with support from a Creative Aging Grant from the Vermont Arts Council.
