.'Community Day' at San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles

Marimba, folklorico and a stitch-your-selfie community crafting session are all included in this free event, which revolves around the quilt museum’s current exhibit on Guatemalan textile art, Mayan Traje: A Tradition in Transition. Members of The Fábrica, a Santa Cruz community textile workspace, will be on hand to show their craft and help participants hone theirs. Catch live weaving demonstrations featuring the Mayan backstrap loom—the device traditionally used to create the Mayan traje (or blouse)—and participate in a sewing bee. While at the museum, check out the rest of the current exhibitions.
