We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Discover the ease and freedom of off-loom weaving! In this two-hour workshop, instructor Jessica Holton will guide you through a shared pattern while educating about the history and mental health benefits of weaving. All materials will be provided!

After a brief overview of the history of weaving both on and off-loom, Jessica will guide all attendees through the same pattern to get everyone acquainted with this new skill. Each participant will learn how to begin their pattern on a 5-inch by 5-inch piece of wood (without pegs or grooves), using a tapestry needle for the shuttle. Along the way, participants will be introduced to the mental health benefits of weaving.

Jessica Holton is a clinical social worker who began her fiber arts journey in September 2022, when she took a drop-spindle fiber spinning class. She began weaving on a tapestry loom in October 2022, taught herself to knit in December 2022, and attended her first (virtual) off-loom weaving workshop in February 2023. She won Best of Show for an off-loom piece at the 2023 Flagstaff Wool and Fiber Festival, and another piece was displayed at the Coconino Center for the Arts as part of their Form and Fiber: Handmade Textile Art exhibit in 2025.

Cost: $30 Willow Bend members, $35 public. Registration required.
