MCD Library MakeArt: Hand Woven Wall Hangings

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join the Museum of Craft and Design and the San Francisco Public Library for a virtual hand weaving workshop! This textile craft opportunity is inspired by the SFPL 4th Floor’s Pandemic Pastimes exhibit and MCD’s Mode Brut exhibition.
