Roam the halls of the Gamble House and find inspiration in our current exhibition, From Strand to Sculpture: Contemporary Japanese Basketry, before creating your own woven work of art. Drawing on historic basketry techniques, this hands-on workshop, led by artist Kelly Dennis Villalba, invites participants to learn the fundamentals of basket-making—from starting a basket to incorporating pattern and personal expression—using soft coiling materials and yarn.

Throughout the evening, enjoy live music by Jazz Crosswinds, whose distinctive sound blends Japanese koto with guitar, bass, and drums, adding a musical backdrop to the night.
