For the November Cafecito, we selected the art of weaving to honor indigenous peoples. We demonstrated a weaving technique using notch looms. The students and families were provided with yarn and looms and taught the weaving process using the over/under technique. The students and their family members were instructed on the process and cultural significance of weaving. They learned about the history of textiles and how weaving is an artistic expression used among many cultures. The students were excited to learn and receptive to the new craft we shared with them.
