Ok, most of you will laugh at this, but I am so excited that I am attending!:

Friday, October 20 and Saturday, October 21
Traditional Hmong Backpack Weaving
Friday, 6-9pm
Saturday, 9:30am-4:30pm (please plan to attend both sessions)

Artists Tong Va Lor and Chue Vang (Lor) will teach traditional Hmong backpack weaving. With the help of translators, Tong Va and Chue will share their culture and artistic talents with community members. In Laos, people weave backpacks out of natural materials, often incorporating traditional patterns. The sturdy yet lightweight backpacks will be perfect fit for carrying your garden produce and supplies! No experience necessary -- weavers of all levels are encouraged!

The workshop will be held indoors at Lakeview Lutheran Church in Madison. Fees are $15 for FTG members, $25 for non-members, and participation is limited to 15 particpants.
