Quahog Clamshell Weaving Workshop
SOLD OUT
About the Workshop:
Maybe you’re familiar with the Cape Cod quahog as the iconic clam shell with the purple inside. Perhaps you’re a fan of clam chowder or the beautiful carved jewelry made by local Wampanoag and other artisans. But did you also know that you can weave a quahog shell?
Join Sarah Manion of The Interwoven Institute in a 3-hour workshop where you’ll learn how to transform the common quahog into a truly delightful work of art. Learn the history and cultural significance of this local bivalve while you warp and weave your own shell.
As an added bonus, we’ll enjoy a snack of stuffed quahogs and experience the interconnectedness of local materials, land, culture, and craft!
What’s Included:
Quahog shell (pre-carved and ready to be warped)
All weaving materials including warping threads, needles, and tools
Snacks: Homemade Stuffed Quahogs & tea
Who is this for?
Any adult interested in learning how to connect to themselves, each other, and the earth through craft. No previous experience with weaving is necessary (although some dexterity is helpful).
Location: Salt Yarn Studio (620 Main St., Dennis, MA)
Refund Policy:

Mindful Knitting Circle (November)
Join us as we explore the intersection of mindfulness and craft. Perhaps you already experience certain physical, mental or emotional benefits from knitting?

Through this gathering, you will not only walk away with ideas about how to incorporate mindfulness into your own knitting, you will also have a unique opportunity to experience what it feels like to practice and connect through knitting in community. Please bring any yarn and any needles you have.
You will best enjoy this gathering if you possess the basic knitting skills of cast-on, knit stitch, purl stitch, and casting off. No previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is required. Tea will be served.
