The process of weaving allows people to take thin pieces of thread, yarn, or plant material and turn it into strong cloth and baskets. It is a simple yet sophisticated technology that developed independently in cultures all over the world. In honor of Earth Day, students will join Penn Museum educators to learn more about weaving techniques from around the world, and then try some paper weaving of their own.

Since this is a virtual event, participants should source their own materials. Recommended Materials: Sheet of paper, a writing utensil, and crayons/markers/colored pencils.
