Adults Free Talks & Tours Artmaking

Common Threads is a museum art-making experience that brings together fiber artists from the tri-county area to explore creativity and mindfulness as a community. Whether you're into crochet, knitting, or embroidery, this event offers a chance to connect with fellow makers while working on your craft.

The experience begins with a guided tour of the special exhibition Painted with Silk, led by museum studio staff. Afterward, participants will have the opportunity to work on their own fiber projects in the serene Crystal Gallery, located above the Detroit Film Theatre.

Please bring your ongoing projects along with any necessary tools, such as hooks and needles. Materials will not be provided.
