Do you love the intricacy of pattern and structure? Join this talk to hear about the creative work of card weaver Candace Crockett. In this ancient craft, simple cards, or flat tablets, form the “loom.” Crockett will share her experience with this technique and how it’s possible to weave bands of great complexity and beauty with nothing more than yarn and cards.
