Teen Studio: Fiber Frenzy, Part 2
March 1, 2025 | 3:00 pm–5:00 pm
Teens: Are you ready to level up your art? Join us for Teen Studio, a free art-making program exclusively for teens (ages 13–18). Push your artistic boundaries using materials and techniques inspired by the Hirshhorn Museum’s remarkable collection of modern and contemporary art. Each month introduces new artists, materials, and opportunities for artmaking!
This month, we’re weaving our way into textiles and fiber arts, inspired by artist Anni Albers’s brilliant modern weaving, which features complex geometric patterns. Participants will use a weaving loom and experiment with materials of various textures, widths, and colors to create unique patterns.
Registration required; space is limited. To register, email HMSGEducation@si.edu.
We ask that registered teens arrive on time and stay for the whole workshop to get the most out of their experience. Meet in the Art School on the Lower Level.

ABOUT TEEN STUDIO
Hey Teens! Ready to level up your art game? Teens (ages 13–18) are invited to hang out and get creative at the Hirshhorn’s Teen Studio. Teen Studio is a free, twice-monthly series of art-making workshops offered the first and last Saturday of every month. All skill levels are welcome—from the novice notebook doodler to the experienced teen artist—there is something for everyone!
Each month, we’ll dive into a fresh theme inspired by artists on view, and explore it over two workshops. Each workshop offers a mix of time in the galleries exploring groundbreaking artists and time in Hirshhorn Art School experimenting with new mediums and materials. Whether you’re into painting, sculpture, 3D design, animation or something else. You’ll get hands-on experience and unlock new creative skills.
Workshops take place every first and last Saturday of the month, from 3–5 PM.
