All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
A small woven square is the building block of a larger project: Craft Contemporary plans to assemble participants’ contributions into a rug for its May 2027 Air exhibition. Visitors can make one of those squares with Aneesa Shami Zizzo at the April session.
The museum says visitors, volunteers, staff and Zizzo will all create squares for the collaborative rug. Each contribution becomes part of a larger textile planned for Craft Contemporary’s upcoming Air exhibition, which is scheduled to open in May 2027.
That gives the activity a collective outcome: participants are not just practicing a weaving process, but making sections of a work intended for later display. The listing does not say how many squares the rug will include or how the finished pieces will be arranged.

Participants will use frame looms, yarn and fabric strips to weave their squares. Craft Contemporary welcomes people who have never used a loom as well as experienced weavers, so prior weaving experience is not a prerequisite.
The session takes place in the museum’s community gallery gathering space. The program description refers to gatherings on select Sundays, while this listing specifies April 25; it does not provide dates for other sessions.
