Firefly Hours: Fiber Arts at Allens Lane – Small Frame Weaving

Inspired by the renewed season of gathering and the quiet magic of early evening, these relaxed, all-ages workshops celebrate small acts of making, connection, and shared light—like fireflies flickering across the lawn. Participants are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs and settle in for gentle, hands-on fiber activities that build across the three evenings. As part of Historic Germantown’s neighborhood Firefly Hours initiative, Allens Lane Art Center invites the community to gather outdoors at dusk for a three-evening spring fiber arts series.

As evening settles in, participants will learn the basics of small frame weaving using natural fibers and calming, repetitive techniques. This session emphasizes rhythm and texture — a meditative practice that mirrors the slow flicker of fireflies at dusk. Participants may incorporate their printed fabric from Night One if they wish.
