Join us for an evening of hands-on creation where we explore the art of slitweaving β€” a method of cutting, stretching, and weaving fabric to transform a simple shirt into your own custom wearable piece.
This activation space is all about learning a skill, relaxing into the process, and enjoying the flow of making something with your hands.
✨ WHAT WE’LL BE DOING
In this guided session, you will learn:
🌿 How to make clean slit cuts
🌿 How to stretch and weave fabric strips
🌿 How to shape your design to your body
🌿 How to use knots, loops, and simple patterns
🌿 How to finish your piece with rings, charms, or embellishments
The focus is on creativity, technique, and enjoying the process β€” no experience needed.
