Event Description
Join Latasha Waters of The Queen's Storehouse for a history presentation and head wrapping tutorial!
During this event we will explore:
- The clothing's history
- What it is
- The way it's made
- How it's worn
- Why it's worn
- Its overall cultural and/or religious significance
Apart from bringing your own head wrap for styling, if you want to create your headwrap: bring a hair tie and a 2-yard piece of cloth (thinner material will work better)
