Join us for a creative afternoon inspired by our current exhibition, Cut from the Same Cloth. Enjoy art activities led by Art Center teaching artists, Palo Alto City Library, and FabMo, a fabric recycling nonprofit. Learn how to weave a rainbow at our rainbow plate weaving station, design some pajamas for a paper bear and weave your bear a blanket at our two-part goodnight paper bear craft station. Bring the whole family for this fun, multi-generational event and stick around until the very end for a textile-inspired story time.
