Step in from the cold and slow things down with a cozy, hands-on art experience at the museum!This PA Day, learn the basics of weaving while creating a small woven project to take home.
Using a simple cardboard loom with warp threads already in place, you’ll add colourful weft threads and watch your design come together one row at a time. The activity takes about an hour and is beginner-friendly. A helpful skill for participants is the ability to tie an overhand knot (the first step in tying shoelaces), as it’s used throughout the project.
Morning Session | 10:30–11:30 a.m.
FREE, no pre-registration required.
Ideal for children and families who enjoy a more energetic, social group experience.
Afternoon Session – Museum Inclusive Drop-In | 1:00–4:00 p.m.
FREE, no pre-registation required
Designed for children and families who prefer a calmer, less stimulating environment. This drop-in experience includes access to a quiet area and offers a slower, judgment-free way to enjoy the museum and activity at your own pace.
From 1:00–4:00 p.m., local weaver Susi Reinink will be on site demonstrating small looms and sharing her expertise. Susi was first introduced to weaving while volunteering at Macpherson House and went on to study through evening classes, private instruction, and the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners three-year Master Weaver program at St. Lawrence College in Brockville, where she graduated with distinction.
