Beginner Tapestry Weaving Workshop
Come hang out, get creative, and learn the basics of tapestry weaving! I’ll walk you through how to use a loom and teach you a few simple weaving techniques while we experiment with sustainable and unconventional materials. We might weave with yarn, plastic, scraps, found materials, or anything else that sparks your imagination.
No experience needed—just bring yourself and a willingness to play, experiment, and get a little weird with weaving!
Supplies will be provided, but if you'd like to bring any fabric materials feel free!

Learn to Knit - Continental!
with Noora Marttinen
Learn how to knit!
This workshop will cover the basics of casting on, the knit stitch, the purl stitch, and binding off. The workshop will be taught in Continental style, so it is great for both those who have never touched knitting needles AND those who already know English style (yarn in the right hand), and want to learn Continental (yarn in the left hand). A set of needles and a skein of wool yarn will be provided for each participant. You will also get a pattern that you can use after the workshop to practice these basics and add a few other skills.
Ages 10+

Join us at the Reeves House making your very own Winter themed wreath. Participants have a choice between two options: Christmas Lights or Winter Cardinal
Build Your Own Boopos Puppet
with Sam Carter
Start with the pieces. Leave with a puppet!
In this hands-on workshop for makers ages 16 and up, each participant will build their own Boopos Blank puppet with instruction from Sam Carter.
You'll choose your puppet's head shape before the workshop and then learn how its components come together to create an articulated character ready to move, gesture, pose, and develop a personality of its own.
Whether you're interested in puppetry, character design, fabrication, performance—or simply want to spend a few hours making something wonderfully unusual—no previous puppet-building experience is necessary.
This workshop is for individual builders rather than pairs, and every registered participant builds and leaves with their own puppet.
The workshop fee includes one Boopos Blank puppet, all necessary building materials and components, and hands-on instruction from Sam Carter.
