Kids and adults can make art based on the work of Filipina textile artists featured in AU Museum's exhibition, Fabricated Boundaries. Each artist from the exhibition will have a dedicated project that illustrates their unique techniques and incorporation of Philippine textiles and fibers. Learn Habi and the art of simple weaving using yarn and tie-dyed cloth (Pacita Abad and Jeanne Jalandoni), simulate the printing process of painted yarn and ribbon (Patricia Orpilla), and construct paper cutouts and collage (Mic Diño Boekelmann).
