2 FREE Headwrapping Workshops and Wrap Swaps! Ann Arbor & Canton Michigan
Free Headwrapping Workshop & Headwrap Swap!
ANN ARBOR - The Traverwood branch of the Ann Arbor library is hosting "The Art of the Gele: A Headwrapping workshop for women who love to be beautiful," at the library, 3333 Traverwood Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48105 on Saturday, October 24 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Community members are invited to join the Niyah Company's Zarinah El-Amin Naeem, a Kalamazoo based anthropologist and master wrapper as she highlights the history of wrapping in America and teaches participants to tie several styles of beautiful, exquisite headwraps for everyday use and special occasions.
The interactive workshop shall also feature a "Headwrap Swap" for regular wrappers who would like to trade wraps with others. Sample wraps will be available for use, however El-Amin Naeem encourages each participant to bring a 2 yard piece of fabric that they would love to wear. There will also be a small selection of wraps for sell. Parents are encouraged to bring their children (ages 8 and up) as this is a family affair.

The Art of the Gele will also be hosted by the Canton Public Library (Canton, MI) on November 21st.

We're very excited to attend the Ann Arbor workshop. Should kids' wraps be 2 yards also?

Children's wraps can be smaller. In fact, even some adults like to work with just 1.5 yards and a narrower width. Bring what you have and we'll make it work. Keep in mind that it's much easier to make a wrap smaller than bigger!
