Workshop: Peg Looms

Bring that coffee shop conversation and your coffee friends – to RE:Create and see what happens when you explore creativity together.

In this session, Mary Ann Meyer and Cindy Wilson instruct us on peg looms.  This is a FREE event presented by ArtCentral Spearfish. All materials are included. Recommended for ages 15 and up. Sign-ups are requested to make sure we have enough materials.

Peg looming was one of the earliest forms of weaving and also is one of the simplest. A wood, tabletop base with round holes drilled in it is fitted with round pegs. A rectangular rug is woven by passing the rug material back and forth around the pegs. There will be demonstrations of the process and hands-on practice of the weaving. Two peg looms will be available to work on.

The workshop takes place in the ArtCentral RE:create makerspace in The Matthews’ art gallery.
