Weaving usually sounds like this very archaic and complicated craft, that requires you to give up your entire living room for some complicated apparatus. Thankfully it doesn't have to be that way! In this workshop you will learn the very basics of weaving bands (narrow long strips of fabric) you can use for fun things like lanyards, bracelets, belts, bag straps, and more. You will create your own very simple and somewhat portable weaving tools and learn how to use everyday materials to create your first woven project. For those who already have some weaving experience or are interested in the technical details: We’ll use a backstrap weaving setup to create tension. The weaving technique you will learn is called tablet weaving. The yarn provided will be 100% cotton. This workshop is not about creating the a professional weaving setup but rather a very low cost and accessible introduction to weaving. If you already possess a portable loom or previous knowledge/experience, please feel more than welcome to join us, bring your own equipment, and also potentially share what you already know. If you're new to weaving, but want to bring your own yarn: consider picking a smooth and not too thick yarn to make your first project. Disclaimer: I'm not a professional weaver, but somebody with a special interest in all things textiles who wants to share the knowledge. If you require any accommodations due to e.g. vision impairments, sensory issues, and want to participate: please feel free to reach out. I would love to have you and will try my very best to help.
