How Did They Do That? Tapestry Weaving
About
How Did They Do That? Tapestry Weaving is part of the How Did They Do That? series at The Met Cloisters on medieval techniques, and this session looks at how tapestries are woven. The Cloisters is the Metropolitan Museum's branch for the art, architecture and gardens of medieval Europe, set in Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan. The session takes place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 1 pm. Our listing records the session as free with museum admission. The Met's page for the session was not available when this description was written, so the length, format, registration and any age limit are not confirmed here. Check the event page on engage.metmuseum.org, and check museum admission prices on metmuseum.org, which this listing does not print. The Met Cloisters is at 99 Margaret Corbin Drive, Fort Tryon Park, New York, NY 10040. Take the A train to 190 St, then walk about ten minutes through Fort Tryon Park. The museum notes that a free shuttle serves visitors who need step-free access to the building. If you want to try weaving yourself, Brooklyn Brainery has a Tapestry Weaving for Beginners class on October 28 at $45, and Textile Arts Center lists a Weaving 101 Weekend Intensive on November 21 at $225 to $450.
