The Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum at Southeast Missouri State Universitys River Campus will host a Weaving Skewers with a Twist Make and Take Activity as part of Cape Girardeaus First Friday with the Arts activities July 5 from 4-8 p.m.
The event will be repeated on Saturday, July 6, from 1-4 p.m.
The public is invited to attend, and admission is free. Supplies are provided.
Museum staff will lead participants in learning how to weave colorful yarn on wooden skewer sticks, including the normal over and under method, or their own pattern of weaving can be made. The piece starts out flat, but when twisted, the decoration takes on a new life.
