Join Weaving Hand for a celebration of the history and culture of weaving in Tibet this Saturday, December 7th at noon.
The event will be led by Pasang Tsaga, who is a teaching artist at Weaving Hand and an expert on Tibetan weaving. Ms. Tsaga was born in Tibet, grew up in Nepal, and immigrated to the United States in 1998. Having begun her weaving career at the age of 14, she is a true master of the art. Weaving Hand is fortunate to have her as a member of our team.
Ms.Tsaga will deliver a weaving demonstration and an in-depth talk on the practice of Tibetan rug weaving. A selection of beautiful carpets created by Ms. Tsaga will also be available for sale. This is a fantastic opportunity to pick up a one of a kind holiday gift for someone special, while also supporting local artistry. Tibetan refreshments will be served, and all are welcome!
For those who would like to continue to explore the rich culture and crafts of Tibet, we encourage you to visit 21 Tara at 388 Myrtle Avenue, a shop on Myrtle Avenue owned by Tashi Namgyal, Ms. Tsaga’s son. The shop offers a wide range of garments, tapestries and accessories that reflect Tibetan heritage and traditions.
