Description

Marimba, folklorico and a stitch-your-selfie community crafting session are all included in this free event, which revolves around the quilt museum's current exhibit on Guatemalan textile art, Mayan Traje: A Tradition in Transition. Members of The Fabrica, a Santa Cruz community textile workspace, will be on hand to show their craft and help participants hone theirs. Catch live weaving demonstrations featuring the Mayan backstrap loom--the device traditionally used to create the Mayan traje (or blouse)--and participate in a sewing bee. While at the museum, check out the rest of the current exhibitions.
