Creative Lounge Nights at The Maco Theater are all about relaxing your mind, learning new skills, making something to take home, and sipping on drinks. Each night comes with a different experience: whether an instructor led class, an open choose-your-own craft kit format, or a multi-week series. Some nights may even include a favorite movie or romcom on the big screen. Your first drink is included with your ticket. Additional wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks are available for purchase. No experience necessary! See you there!

SEPT 18th! 6 pm - 9 pm (Full weaved band / belt may take less than three hours but all are welcome to hang out until 9 pm/ take your weaving home with you if you don’t complete it by 9 pm)

Class Description:

Come weave a decorative band in a friendly laid back environment where you get to become a part of the loom. Backstrap weaving is one of the oldest forms of cloth making. In it the threads are tied to something sturdy then attached to a band around your waist meaning you use your body to control the tension. You will go home with a band you've woven yourself that you can show off and say "Hey I made this!”

Instructor Bio:

Hi my name is Kim and I have loved everything yarn since I was a little girl. Having learned how to crochet before learning how to read, it's safe to say that fiber arts have played a HUGE role in my life. Over the years I've learned how to do a lot more than crochet, and have found great joy in sharing my love of textiles. 

Ideas for using your weaved band:

Belt, dog leash, guitar or other instrument straps, camera strap, lanyard, yoga strap, etc.

$40 includes one drink ticket, instruction & all materials to weave a decorate band / belt to take home at the end of the night!
