Everything’s A Loom! Weaving Techniques
Registration
Carley Mullally
Monday to Friday, July 10 – July 14, 2023
10:00am – 4:00pm
With a few techniques under your belt, anything can become a loom. A table, chair, doorway or in the case of this workshop, a picture frame. Throughout the week we will learn various weaving techniques such as rya knots, slit tapestry, cartooning and soumak to create woven tapestries.
We will cover how to set up a tapestry loom using frames and tapestry cord, and build textural and/or imagery-based weavings. Students will work at their own pace and skill-set, using a variety of materials such as wool, cotton, fishing rope, fabrics, twine and unconventional materials.
