How can materials embody memory, experience, and mythology? Guided by artists, Diedrick Brackens and Josh Faught, transcend the technical boundaries of weaving to explore its more metaphysical possibilities.

Through conversation, experimentation, and making, create your own personal elixir and learn to transform traditional and non-traditional weaving materials through mono printing, dyeing, and hand painting techniques. Each participant will leave with a collection of materials, transformed through various techniques, a 6 x 9-inch wooden loom, and a printed weaving design template.
