Are you a descendant of a Manong or Manang who came to the US in the first half of the 1900s? Do you want to learn about Ilocano weaving and honor their memory? Want to connect the dots between Ilocano weaving, our immigration history, and collective future? Curious to try traditional Filipino weaving?

Inabel nga Indayon (translates to "Ilocano Woven Cradle") offers its intro workshop at Kapwa Gardens (967 Mission Street) from 1:00-4:00PM. This is made possible from a grant by Balay Kreative as part of its arts programming in the SOMA Pilipinas Filipino Cultural Heritage District.

Get the 411 on the project from Lead Artist Rachel Lozada, a Bay Area community-based, first generation Filipina/Ilocana weaver. Manang/Tita Rachel will cover some basics on Ilocano weaving, help you try your hand on table top looms, and if you're up to the challenge, practice on an individual mini weaving kit which you can take home with you. All are welcome regardless of age and weaving skill. Space is limited so please come on time. Sliding scale donation of $1-$8, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Interested? Let us know by dropping a comment below.

The workshop (and entire Sunday Streets event) is held outdoors and strictly complies with Covid 19 safety protocols. UMAY KAYO, AG-ABEL TAYO APO! AGYAMAN KAMI UNAY! Come let's weave together, thank you very much!
