Learn about Ilocano traditional weaving led by San Francisco-based weaver Rachel Lozada. The workshop is designed to give basic knowledge of its socio-cultural and historical significance to the Filipino American community. It relates to this community’s migration to the US beginning in the early 1900s after the US colonized the Philippines at the turn of the century. Ilocanos comprise the second largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group in the US. Participants will get to know some of its most iconic design patterns, symbolisms and relevance behind them and try their hands on several types of small looms. First 25 participants get to weave on cardboard looms with yarn which they get to take home. No weaving experience required.
