Celebrate Galentine’s Day with your best gal pal and making a raw silk rug.
My favorite month celebrating ladies is right around the corner. That’s right, its Galentine’s Day. We will be honoring the bond, friendship, and sisterhood in our lives the only way we know how, with a rug making workshop.
Join Argaman&Defiance Designer, Lydia Crespo, as she guides each maker through the design process of creating a raw silk rug by hand.
The 18" x 18" rug will be yours to take home. All supplies will be provided.

Argaman&Defiance creates 100% silk scarves naturally dyed by hand in our studio located in St. Charles, Mo. We use natural dye extracts responsibly collected from tree bark, roots, and leaves. We then hand paint or print a unique design on each piece.
From stitch to surface design, Argaman&Defiance is creating every piece by hand.
Lydia Crespo attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) graduating in 2010. She received the James Nelson Raymond Fellowship from SAIC upon graduation. Crespo used the funds from the fellowship to start her business, Argaman&Defiance.

A friend and I came together to learn how to make silk rugs. Lydia was so open and friendly and fun. She is a great teacher and artist. We will be back to take another class.
