Thread Therapy: Lap Loom Weaving Workshop
November 13 | 6-8 PM | $65 A collaboration between That Art Party & Local Economy
When's the last time you gave yourself permission to just... be? To let your hands lead while your mind finally gets to rest?
Join us for Thread Therapy—an evening where color becomes your meditation, and every thread you weave is a tiny act of rebellion against the rush of everyday life.
What Is Thread Therapy?
This isn't your typical craft workshop. Thread Therapy is what happens when creative play meets intentional slowness. You'll learn lap loom weaving—an ancient, portable fiber art that's equal parts calming and creative. Whether you've never touched a loom or you're just craving a creative reset, this evening is designed to help you exhale.
What to Expect
A grounding welcome to help you arrive fully. We'll start with gentle breathwork to shift from the day's energy into creative presence 🧘🏾♀️
Hands-on guidance with your loom as you learn to warp, weave, and find your rhythm. Expert instruction will be right there with you, making sure you feel confident and supported ✨
The sweet satisfaction of creating something with your own hands. You'll leave with your own handwoven piece plus the skills to keep weaving at home 🧶
Connection with fellow makers in an intimate, supportive space. Sometimes the best conversations happen when your hands are busy and your heart is open 💬
All materials included—premium yarns, loom use, tools, and supplies. Just bring yourself 🎨
Perfect For
🌿 Anyone craving a break from screens, notifications, and the general speediness of modern life
✨ Complete beginners—no experience needed, just curiosity
🧵 Creative spirits looking for a new meditative practice
💝 Gift-makers who want to learn how to create something meaningful and handmade
🎨 Craft-curious folks ready to slow down and try something beautifully analog
Why Weaving? Why Now?
In a world obsessed with productivity, weaving asks us to be patient. In a culture of instant everything, it invites us to create slowly. Thread by thread, row by row, there's something deeply therapeutic about watching something beautiful emerge beneath your hands.
This is permission to pause. Permission to play. Permission to make something imperfect and love it anyway.
