Join us for our monthly Art and Craft Night, featuring our staff member
and artist Michelle Lin!
Michelle will be hosting a beginner’s friendly weaving circle, guiding us through the basics using DIY cardboard looms, as well as providing some demos on the rigid heddle and tapestry looms.
Donations of scrap yarn and cloth are welcome but not required. ARTogether will provide weaving supplies, along with our usual art supplies, if you’d prefer to play in a different medium. Feel free to bring your latest creative project that you’d like to work with while in community.
Gather In: Art and Craft Community Nights are casual, drop-in, creative hangouts that take place every 2nd Wednesday from 4 – 7 PM. Bring your friends to a future event!

Michelle Lin (they/she) is a textiles and mixed media artist, community builder, and author of the poetry collection A House Made of Water (Sibling Rivalry Press, 2017). Their cultural work and art practice are rituals of grief and healing from the violence of patriarchy, capitalism, assimilation, and living within the imperial core. Passionate about co-building liberatory spaces for diasporic and queer artists, they work as the Artist Growth Program Director at ARTogether and serve on the Advisory Councils for Vital Arts and Artists’ Adaptability Circles. They live on Ohlone land (San Francisco Bay Area). Connect with them at michellelinmakes.com and on IG @firstborncryptid.
