Please feel free to bring any items you may want to incorporate into your weaving, like interesting fibers, foraged and gathered natural objects, shells with holes, beads, etc. you may want to incorporate into your weaving. No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome! Each Weaver will complete a one-of-a-kind Handwoven Wall Hanging. In addition, if you find that you’re in love with the practice, you will have an option to purchase the loom you are working with, as well as additional fiber and tools to continue at home.

In Persian culture and traditions the longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry Hafez and the Shahname or The Book of Kings until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and glow of life. This year, we have decided to start our Yalda celebrations a little earlier with a special preparatory event. This pre-Yalda celebration is not just a countdown; it's a chance for us to come together, to cherish the bonds of family and friendship, and to create unforgettable memories. So, mark your calendars and bring your joyful spirits! Persian Place welcomes everyone to join and celebrate this beautiful event at Oceanside Museum of Art on Nov. 5, 2023, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event includes meet and greet with Maestro Norureddin Zarrinkelk ( The Father of Iranian Animation), “ A Journey to Persia” arts and crafts workshop which includes seven workshops, Persian dance, music, reading Hafez poetry and storytelling.
