| Details | Back by popular demand, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival offers a free, family-friendly workshop for the holiday season. Join Indigenous Peruvian weavers Yessica Sallo Auccacusi and Rosa Pumayalli Quispe to learn the art of making traditional pom-poms and tassels, colorful additions to gift wrapping, tree ornaments, or home decoration.
In this online session, Yessica and Rosa will guide you through the pom-pom and tassel making process while you learn about the culture of traditional weaving in Peru. Attendees can use materials at home or purchase a $15 materials kit from Peru: balls of yarn, a tapestry needle, and a small handwoven bag. By the end of the workshop, you will have completed a few handmade Quechua-style pom-poms and tassels.
