The Original Woven Bag Workshop by Jessie Mordine Young

Introducing The Original Woven Bag Workshop with Jessie Mordine Young at Tim Clarke Design. 

Saturday, May 9th at 10:00 - 2:00 PM 

Weave a Market Tote or Shoulder Bag

Join Jessie in our showroom for a 4-hour workshop focused on creating a woven shoulder bag or market tote. Designed for beginners and those with some weaving experience, this hands-on session introduces the fundamentals of three-dimensional weaving and form-building.

Led by textile artist and educator Jessie Mordine Young, students will learn essential techniques while developing a functional, personalized bag. The finished piece is suitable for everyday use, including trips to the farmers market, beach, or daily wear! :) 

All workshop materials will be provided. Light snacks and beverages will be provided.

Weaving is a tactile, process-driven practice. Students are encouraged to use class time to experiment with materials, texture, color, and pattern in order to develop their own visual language.

The class will take place at Tim Clarke Design: 2630 Pico BLVD, Santa Monica and is a special event offered in conjunction with signed books of A Woven Year and a new collection of work Jessie has been working on!
