1/2 - woven together: a summer workshop series by ebere a.
My project, woven together: a summer workshop series by ebere a., is a free basket weaving workshop event celebrating the collective memory of hands and craft practices that Igbo-Nigerian women have and continue to steward. After hosting free workshops for the last three years in Chicago and beyond, this offering naturally evolved into this inaugural ‘woven together’ series to take place this summer 2025 at a venue on the South Side of Chicago. I wanted to share this collective space with makers, creative minds, and folks that are interested in crafting together. In addition, I find it key to offer this as a free public workshop to my community since craft practice is often monetized thus becoming more inaccessible to artist, makers, and creatives like myself.
