Join artist Kris Waymire to learn how to create a handmade bag or basket using traditional weaving techniques and everyday, recycled materials like jute and plastic bags. Waymire will also provide historical context around weaving with twine, and will share resources for weaving at home.
All are welcome. Recommended for adults and teens. Space is limited and registration is required.
Kris Waymire is an Iñupiaq and Quechua artist who works primarily with beads and textiles. They create geometric patterns inspired by Old Bering Sea hunting tools and Andean weaving. Using leather, sinew, furs, and beads, they reclaim familial knowledge with their work. Waymire studied studio art at New York University and was a 2023 Windgate Lamar Fellow with the Center for Craft. In 2024 they were an artist-in-residence at Ma’s House on Shinnecock.
This workshop is repeated twice.
