Weaving
Wednesday, January 8 at 5:15pm
Students will be provided with a mini loom and selection of yarns. Together we will work through some simple weaving stitches and create something decorative.
Duke Arts Create is a series of free hands-on arts workshops designed to help all Duke students including undergraduates, graduates, and professionals (including health professionals), faculty, and staff develop a variety of creative skills in the visual arts, dance and movement, creative writing and more. While most of our workshops are exclusive to the Duke community, each month includes a few open community workshops that are free and open to the general public – no Duke affiliation required!
Explore our workshops below.
Most workshops are held in the Duke Arts Annex, the Rubenstein Arts Center or the Trent Semans Center and are typically held weeknights from 6-8 p.m.
Registration for workshops opens every Friday morning at 9 a.m. for the following week’s events. Sign up in advance to guarantee your spot. If you miss your chance to reserve, stop by – we always reserve space for walk-ins and waitlist registers and will do our best to accommodate you.
