Location: Mess Hall, 6932 N Glenwood, Chicago, IL  60626
Description: Dinnerluck will start at 6:30- Workshop will begin at 7pm. As always, please feel free to bring food to share or just bring yourself! Learn two kinds of macrame jewelry–basic designs for hemp and embroidery floss bracelets. We’ll learn how to combine a few different knots to make some classic designs, and I’ll bring examples of more advanced patterns. Some materials provided, but please bring what you’ve got! I do not have any beads, but there’s plenty of beautiful designs that do not necessitate beads. (Bring ‘em if you want ‘em.) The Luddite Cafe. This is a gathering for people to share pre-industrial technological skills. Please come learn Card Weaving from Alex Iwasa. Card Weaving is an Iron Age form of technology still practiced all over the world by running yarn through cards or tablets with holes punched in them, to create a work area to weave with. Some materials will be provided, but if you have yarn and/or dead decks of cards we can punch holes in to weave through, please bring them!
