Participating weavers are current and former students and instructors in the weaving program at CC. Each weaver signs up for 1-hour increments of time (or in some cases all 12 hours!). At their designated time they will begin weaving a dish towel on their loom. As each towel is completed, it will be tagged while still on the loom indicating which weaver made the towel. The following week a team of volunteer sewers will finish the ends of the towels and they will be launching to the public at our CRAFTED event in the Store on November 21. Each towel will sell for $40 and the weaver will receive a $20 artist commission.
Great question! There are many ways you can support the Weave-a-Thon event and support your favorite weaver.
Each weaver will be collecting sponsors. Sponsors can give a donation per weaving hour, or can donate a flat amount. The weaver who collects the most donations will receive a free workshop at Contemporary Craft. Just select the weaver of your choice from the drop down menu.
If you don’t know a specific weaver but would still like to sponsor the event, that would be amazing! Click below and make your general donation.
We must keep our weavers fed and hydrated throughout the day! We welcome donations of food and drink for our weavers.
All of the dish towels that are woven will be available in Contemporary Craft’s Store beginning at the CRAFTED event on November 21. Â Please consider joining us at CRAFTED to have the first shot at purchasing a Weave-a-Thon towel. Â These will make wonderful hostess gifts for Thanksgiving and will be used and loved year round! Â Towels will also be available the day of Weave-a-Thon, through Contemporary Craft’s Instagram page. Â Make sure to watch for photos and update to claim your favorite towel that day!
Please come to Contemporary Craft to see the weavers in action and cheer them on. We will be open to the public until 9pm.
Submit a message of encouragement for your favorite weaver. We will print out all of the messages and hang them throughout the Weaving Studio during Weave-a-Thon!
All of the proceeds from Weave-a-Thon will support the growth of our Fibers Programming. Â With our expansion into Timmons Studios in March 2025, we now have dedicated Studio spaces for weaving, sewing, dyeing, paper making, and book binding, and well as space for basketry and broom workshops.
