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
🌿 How to finish your piece with rings, charms, or embellishments
The focus is on creativity, technique, and enjoying the process — no experience needed.

✨ ENERGY EXCHANGE
$20 entry
+ $10 if you need a blank shirt to work on
You’re welcome to bring your own shirt (cotton or stretch fabric works best).
If you don’t have one, a shirt will be provided for an additional $10.

✨ TOOLS & MATERIALS
Please bring:
• your own scissors (fabric scissors encouraged)
• jewellery pliers (if you want to add metal details)
We will have:
✨ fabric scissors available to hire
✨ jewellery pliers available to hire
✨ jump rings for finishing your weave
✨ some charms and beads included
✨ extra embellishments available for optional purchase
All core materials are included in the entry fee.

✨ WHO THIS SPACE IS FOR
This space is great for:
• beginners
• makers
• creatives
• people who like hands-on learning
• anyone wanting a relaxed evening of making something unique
It’s a simple, fun craft that becomes surprisingly addictive once you start.

Upcoming sessions will explore:
• bleach reverse tie-dye (with stencils to enhance your woven design)
