Library Lunch & Learn: Backstrap Weaving with Luna Fiber

Bring your lunch and learn at the library!

Join Sarah Gotowka of Luna Fiber Studio to learn the basics of backstrap weaving using upcycled materials. In this short intro workshop, you will weave a long strip of material that you can then use for straps, belts or bands! All necessary equipment and materials supplied by Sarah, but participants are invited to bring their own old t-shirts that they’d like to transform.

For teens and adults. Space is limited and registration is required - please call the library at 607-387-5623 or stop by the desk to reserve your spot.

She received her BFA in Fibers and Material Studies from The Cleveland Institute of Art in 2007, and her MFA in Fibers and Material Practices from Concordia University in Montreal in 2013. Since moving to the Ithaca area she has taught at SUNY Cortland, Cornell University, Ithaca College, The Johnson Museum of Art, Wells College, and New Roots Charter School to name a few.
