This program is for those experienced in crochet and was developed to support of the East Las Vegas Library's yearly art installation and community project. This years theme is Cielo Tejido and is inspired by those created in Jalisco, Mexico. Staff and community members will be crocheting large hexagons in five different patterns until November. These hexagons will be stitched together to create a large woven sky canopy. This class is a beginners crochet class to teach the five patterns we will using for this community project. However, those who already know how to crochet are called to action as well. Please join us in creating a colorful and vibrant representation of the talent and creativity of our community. The Cielo Tejido will be on display the week of Dia de Muertos leading up to the main event. Don't miss out in your chance to share your talents, we need all crocheters to reach our goal, beginners to experienced crocheters are welcome! We also have coffee, mexican sweet bread, and other pastries to enjoy during the program.
Este programa fue realizado para los que ya tienen experiencia con crochet y se realiza en apoyo a la instalación artística anual y al proyecto comunitario de la Biblioteca de East Las Vegas. El tema de este año es "Cielo Tejido", inspirado en las obras creadas en Jalisco, México. Tanto el personal como los miembros de la comunidad tejerán a crochet grandes hexágonos, siguiendo cinco patrones diferentes, hasta el mes de noviembre. Estos hexágonos se unirán entre sí para crear un gran dosel tejido que simulará un cielo. Esta sesión es una clase de crochet para principiantes, diseñada para enseñar los cinco patrones que utilizaremos en este proyecto comunitario. Sin embargo, también hacemos un llamado a la acción a aquellos que ya saben tejer a crochet. Por favor, acompáñenos a crear una representación colorida y vibrante del talento y la creatividad de nuestra comunidad. El "Cielo Tejido" estará en exhibición durante la semana del Día de Muertos, como preámbulo al evento principal. ¡No pierda la oportunidad de compartir su talento! Necesitamos a todos los tejedores para alcanzar nuestra meta; ¡tanto los principiantes como los expertos son bienvenidos! Además, tendremos café, pan dulce mexicano y otros pasteles para disfrutar durante el programa.
