Join us for an evening of hands-on creation where we explore the art of slitweaving — a method of cutting, stretching, and weaving fabric to transform a simple shirt into your own custom wearable piece.This activation space is all about learning a skill, relaxing into the process, and enjoying the flow of making something with your hands.
✨ WHAT WE’LL BE DOING
In this guided session, you will learn:
🌿 How to make clean slit cuts
🌿 How to stretch and weave fabric strips
🌿 How to shape your design to your body
🌿 How to use knots, loops, and simple patterns

The focus is on creativity, technique, and enjoying the process — no experience needed.
