Weaving Workshop
Thread by thread, participants will gain an understanding of the relationship between the warp and the weft (vertical and horizontal), and how they can create color combinations, texture, and form with threads, knots, and time. Through the use of different fibers, participants will be able to create a finalized tapestry piece. This is a great workshop for those who want to understand how to create their own fabrics, and for those who are interested in weaving on a large loom, but want to understand the basics first.
No previous experience needed.
Want more? After a workshop you can also rent a workspace for your weaving projects on daily basis to continue your textile journey.
