Learn to weave on a Tapestry Loom! Have you always been intrigued by beautiful handwoven textiles, wanted to understand how they were made, and maybe learn this ancient craft? Then this is a class for you. In this 3-day workshop (over three weeks), you will be introduced to the age-old practice of weaving and discover the rewarding aspect of creating objects for useful or decorative purpose. Weaving can also be a meditative parenthesis in our fast-paced world. You will learn the basic weaving techniques needed to set you on your weaver’s journey such as: - How to warp a tapestry loom - Plain tapestry weave (single and double weft tapestry) - Weft interlock and slit weave - Weft-faced color blending - Turkish knots (if we have sufficient time).We will weave a sampler and a final project representing different learned techniques. Students will work on a vertical tapestry loom which can be taken home each week to practice and work on the project assigned. A variety of yarn will be available. Students are welcome to bring their own yarn, as well as a heavy metal fork to use as beater to pack the weft threads down. A security deposit of $50 will be required at the beginning of the class for the loan of the loom during the duration of the class. This workshop is appropriate for ages 12+ years old If this class is full, join our interest list to receive future notifications.

Mind Reader premiered at last year’s Orlando Fringe Festival. After the first performance the Orlando Weekly wrote that it was “consistently astounding” and “a thrilling hour of mystifying mentalism.” The show continued to develop over the course of a seven festival tour, going on to win the “Best Solo Show” award at this year’s Tucson Fringe Festival. If the thought of being part of the show sounds like an intimidating proposition, would-be audience members should know they have nothing to fear. While some interactive and comedic shows invite audience members on stage and make them look foolish, Mind Reader does the complete opposite. One of the defining features of Steven’s work is making the audience the stars of the show and sometimes helping them to discover abilities they never would have imagined they might possess. Every audience member participates in at least some capacity, and those who take a more prominent role are guaranteed to have an unforgettable experience. As the show name would suggest, Steven will read the minds of many audience members in unexpected and surprising ways. Mind Reader will also feature demonstrations of lighting fast mnemonics, a brief but shocking hallucination, and a finale that defies any rational explanation.
