Program Description:
Explore the art of weaving in this introductory workshop! Using a frame loom, learn the basics of this traditional craft and create your own unique woven tapestry wall hanging to take home. Under the guidance of our experienced teaching artist Tami Fuller, you'll start with the basic building blocks of weaving, like warping, materials, tools and basic techniques, then upgrade these skills and learn how to use tapestry weaving and appropriate use of color to create interest. Then you'll dive into the rhythmic motions of weaving, experimenting with different techniques tabby, twill, rya and twining through class time before learning best practices for finishing, mounting and display.

No prior weaving experience is necessary - this class is designed for complete beginners. Just bring your creativity and an open mind, and get ready to be immersed in the soothing, meditative process of weaving. By the end of the session, you'll have completed a beautifully textured woven piece that showcases your own personal style.

Please note: Class includes hands-on instruction, and all supplies will be provided. Use of student loom provided during class.

Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University

The Castellani Art Museum (CAM) at the center of the Niagara University campus is dedicated to the enjoyment and educational potential of artistic creativity. As a major resource for the visual arts in Niagara County, the CAM's permanent collection includes over 5,000 pieces of mainly modern and contemporary art, and hosts a unique Folk Arts Program supporting traditional artists and community-based cultural traditions in the Buffalo-Niagara region.

In keeping with Niagara University's Vincentian mission, the museum recognizes and serves the diverse racial, ethnic, and religious communities of the Niagara region through the organization and presentation of exhibitions which honor and explore their artistic traditions and contemporary output. In addition to presenting diverse artistic expressions, the museum works in partnerships to explore and redefine the relationship between the museum and its constituencies.

As a university museum, the Castellani Art Museum serves the educational needs of the community, by working with Niagara University faculty on integrative learning projects for college students and providing art education programs for area schools and cultural organizations. The museum staff works with educators to develop art-based learning programs that help to promote critical thinking.
