Use a frame loom, yarn and fabric strips to weave a square for a collaborative rug planned for Craft Contemporary’s Air exhibition in May 2027.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
At Craft Contemporary, the weaving has a collective endpoint: each visitor works on a square for a rug being assembled across multiple sessions. The activity welcomes both experienced weavers and people using a loom for the first time.
The Jan. 24 gathering is one contribution to a larger work. Visitors, volunteers, museum staff and Aneesa Shami Zizzo are making small woven squares for the same rug, which Craft Contemporary plans to feature in its Air exhibition, opening in May 2027.
That shared outcome gives the activity its shape: participants add a piece to a collaborative project rather than making separate versions of a finished object.
