Our evening meeting on December 10, 2025 is Radical Potholders: Not What You Made When You Were 8 with Peg Cherre

Join us at 6:30pm, Weaving & Fiber Arts Center in person!

You probably made lots of potholders on a little metal loom when you were a young child. If you’re like Peg Cherre, you just pulled “pretty colors” and didn’t really care about the designs. Now she does much more with potholders - shadow weave, twills in a variety of patterns, clasped warp/weft, multi-layer weaves, clasped warp/weft, and more! Peg will show you some of what she’s made and share helpful resources. If you want to bring your own potholder loom and loops, we can try out a twill.

You can bring your own potholder loom and weaving loops (available at Michael’s and Hobby Lobby) and make one of the radical potholders together!
