Unity Bracelets and Kente Weaving
We are celebrating Black History month with a unity bracelet you can grab and go. If you’d like to stay for a bit, you can learn a little about the art of kente weaving (and also grab that kit!). Kente refers to a Ghanaian textile made of hand-woven strips of silk and cotton. Historically the fabric was worn in a toga-like fashion among the Asante, Akan and Ewe people. According to Asante oral tradition, it originated from Bonwire in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
Available beginning Monday, February 3, and through the month while supplies last. Free.
