Young Artists Series: Stick Weaving

This class is the third of Tin Can Chandelier’s newest series of classes for budding artists. This project goes a little off the beaten path and explores the ancient art of stick weaving. This type of weaving dates back to the paleolithic era and predates any modern form of loom weaving. It is fun, and you can use the technique to create a range of items from the useful to the whimsical. It is up to your child! Some examples of what they might create include bracelets, dolls, snakes, and small purses, to name a few. This is a technique I enjoy myself, and I think everyone else will too! We will be using straws as weaving sticks to make our creations, and I will have a variety of yarns to play with.

The picture is only a few examples of what they might create when they let their imaginations run wild.

Parents can either drop off your child and return at the end of class or stay and join in on the fun.
