MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR :

Nicoleta is a mixed media artist based in Denver, Colorado. Inspired by her cultural heritage as a Greek American, the whimsy of everyday subjects, and her endless love affair with the American West, Nicoleta's paintings, collages, and wearable art celebrate a vast spectrum of mediums and influences. From vibrant desert landscapes that pop with flora and fauna, to absurdist and otherworldly collages, Nicoleta's canvas blends hues from her travels, daydreams and upbringing that she hopes will invoke joy and curiosity in her viewers. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Nicoleta is a self-taught artist who's been painting and creating for as long as she can remember.

Laugh Your Craft Off is a series of craft workshops where you can make things with artists while comedians tell jokes. We’ve paired artists and crafters with comedians to take your grandma's craft circle to a whole new level. There will be laughs! There will be crafts! So grab yourself a drink and come hang out with us!

This event is 18+.

Immerse yourself in a unique blindfolded air clay workshop. With Fruits of Our Labor as your craftalicious guides, you will experiment with how taking away your sight affects your other senses. Lose yourself in the process, laugh at your mistakes and the jokes provided by Lee Robinson. You will go home with three Picasso-like sculptures, a swanky new silk eye mask, and maybe a story to tell the grandkids.

About The Comedian

Lee Robinson is a Denver-based stand-up comedian, writer, and former middle school chess champion (brag). They’ve been featured on OutTV and co-created and host an ever-sold-out, chaotically queer comedy variety show called Dyketopia.

In this class you will learn how to create a woven wall hanging start to finish. At the end of the class you will be able to take home your weaving to display in your home! We will begin by learning how to warp a loom and then move on to mastering the different types of woven stitches and weaving techniques. Becky, your instructor will provide demonstrations and then allow you to work on your piece independently while she observes and answer questions. After you have finished your piece we will learn how to tie off loose ends and take the piece off of the loom.

When booking you will have the option to purchase a take home kit + e-course which includes the exact materials shown in the video (a lap loom, a wooden comb, a tapestry needle, a wooden dowel, and six fiber bundles) OR you can purchase supplies needed for the class only.
