L.A. in the Making | Collective Making Series
Yarn Bombing Los Angeles Drop-in workshops 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Admission: Free for Autry Members | Included with Museum Admission
Appropriate For: 13+
Join Yarn Bombing Los Angeles for a series of hands-on, drop-in workshops exploring how we see and experience Los Angeles.
Over three Sunday afternoons, visitors are invited to contribute to a collaborative fiber art installation inspired by the exhibition Life, Liberty, and Los Angeles. Each session offers a simple, accessible making activity—no prior experience needed—using yarn and other materials to reflect on the city’s landscapes, rhythms, and communities.
You can participate in one workshop or return for all three. Each contribution becomes part of a larger, evolving artwork that will be installed on the museum’s mezzanine in September.
These workshops are designed as a space to pause, make, and connect—using a familiar creative process to expand observation, conversation, and shared experience.
Facilitated by Yarn Bombing Los Angeles Core Members:
Darlyn Susan Yee and David Orozco
Workshop dates | come for one or participate in all three!
Sunday, June 28, 2:00–4:00 p.m.
Collaborate to stitch and join colorful granny squares, forming a unique panel that celebrates the diverse perspectives in Los Angeles. The panel will be displayed as an evolving community installation.
Sunday, July 19, 2:00–4:00 p.m.
Enjoy conversation as you make chain and single crochet items with a hook (or finger crochet for younger children). These items representing familiar features of the Los Angeles landscape will be added to the community installation.
Sunday, August 23, 2:00–4:00 p.m.
Create connections as you learn basic knit and purl stitches using thick yarn and large needles (or finger knitting for younger children). These connecting elements will be used to complete the community installation which will be on view during the Autry’s Annual Block Party.
