Weaving in Unity: Bringing Neighbors Together

Polly Branch, Acorn Art | branchingarts.wordpress.com/

Transform a chain link fence into a work of art while connecting neighbors! Plan a series of days to weave and chat at a neighborhood fence. Polly will help you with the design, placement and weaving. Three hours is the minimum amount of time to get started. You will need to schedule additional time blocks with your participants, which may include 6-9 hours with the artist.

Participants: Five to 50
Ages: All
Value: $600.00
Requirements: Provide access to a chain link fence and consider gathering neighborhood fabrics. The fence could be on visible private or public property with permission of the property owner.
