Community Weaving 
Vickie Vipperman- Sculpture Studio
Choose a piece of fabric to weave into a collective textile on a floor loom. Before adding your piece, write a message, memory, hope or dream on it. Then watch as individual pieces come together, creating one beautiful, interconnected work of art- a reflection of our community and the stories that connect us.
