Weaving Workshop
August 6, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm
The Western Illinois Museum, in partnership with the Tromp-As-Writ Weavers Guild and Monmouth’s Buchanan Center for the Arts, will offer a hands-on history workshop that explores the craft of weaving. Drop by on Saturday, August 6, 2022, any time between 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. You can watch demonstrations and try your hand at different techniques using three different types of looms. Museum volunteers will guide visitors through all-ages weaving activities where you can design and create a weaving to take home. At 10:00 a.m. the local Tromp-as-Writ Weavers Guild will share a brief presentation about their history and how to get started weaving. 
This project is supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
