Interested in learning about the ancient art practice of weaving?

The Stanley has partnered with ICDD for the upcoming Free Week – a winter festival offering free programming at over 15 venues, celebrating Downtown Iowa City’s Cultural & Entertainment District from Feb. 18 to 22, 2025.

Weaver and Graduate Assistant at the Stanley Museum of Art, Melanie Landsittel, will lead a workshop featuring many types of DIY looms and demonstrate the process of weaving. Visitors will be shown how to create beautiful woven paper structures to take home. Melanie will also facilitate an interactive creation of weaving on a small table-top, traditional style loom with visitors.

Snack and supplies provided.
