Touch. Create. Get inspired.

The Creativity Studio is a new interactive space for all visitors of all ages to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Taking a cue from the materials, techniques, and artistry in the objects on view in Weaving Splendor: Treasures of Asian Textiles, the Creativity Studio is a place to experiment with textile processes.

Find inspiration to design your own garment, weave on a six-foot-tall loom, embroider around a table big enough for your friends and family to join, and watch process videos that offer glimpses into the creative practices of artists around the world.

Organized by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
