Contemporary Craft is planning its second annual Weave-a-Thon event on November 15, 2024 from noon to midnight. During this 12-hour event, weavers will design and weave dish towels, which will then be available for sale in CC’s Store on November 22 as part of CRAFTED. Part-fundraiser, part-production studio, and part-party, this event reaches across all areas of CC’s operations.  

 

How it works…

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 22.  Each towel will sell for $40 and the weaver will receive a $20 artist commission.

This sounds amazing!  How I can support Weave-a-Thon?

Great question!  There are many ways you can support the Weave-a-Thon event and support your favorite weaver.

Sponsor a 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.
