Skill level: beginners + kids 6 y/o and up!

Instructor: Judith Basco

Schedule: October 7 (Saturday) / 11am-12:30pm (1.5 hour)

Location: Roots Collective store in Uptown Mall, BGC (tap to see it in Google Maps!)

Introduce yourself to the traditional practice of banig weaving using paper strips! Together, we'll finish a 4x4in Paper Banig coaster together with a discussion on how our traditional banig mats are made. 

This special workshop is a PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN so I encourage you to leave me a tip here on the website when you purchase a pass or feel free to hand it to me before or after our session. This will help me cover for the materials and transportation. Thank you so much!

We're also hosting a Banig Embroidery workshop on the same day in the afternoon, 2-4pm, so you can stay and sign up for this as well! These workshops were made possible through my collaboration with WOVEN PH, and of course to Roots Collective for letting us host at their store space!

A link to the online video guide will be provided to participants after the session so you can make more at home. 

About the Instructor: Judith Basco is a fiber artist and a peasant advocate based in Pasig, Metro Manila. She started @theartofyarn on Instagram in 2018 and has taught kids and adults the art of weaving since 2019. Aside from weaving, she also practices Latch & Locker Hooking, Crochet, Macrame, and other fun fiber crafts to create her pieces. A big part of what she does is to help beginners learn the fundamentals of weaving to help bring appreciation and recognition to this cultural craft. You can check out her work here.
