AnimeChicago ✶ Anime, Manga, Japanese Pop Culture

3:00pm Doors / 3:10pm Presentation & Activity / 4:30pm Wrap

Join us at Movement on Montrose for our first ever Ita Bag Workshop! Meetup+ not required.

Design and build an “Ita Bag” with us! This Spotlight event helps Ita Bag Beginners learn the fundamentals of Ita Bags and the culture behind them. Gain hands-on experience with the concepts, materials, and tools to create and maintain your own.

Each participant will receive a small bag to work on during the workshop. For a $7 suggested donation, you may take the bag and materials home with you. Bring a few pieces of fandom merch to get the full workshop experience, and your own base bag if you wish to modify that instead.
