Description

In this basic tapestry weaving workshop for complete beginners to intermediate levels, participants will enjoy the wonders of applying texture to their hand woven tapestries. Techniques used will be woven into the fabric of the piece while creating your tapestries, using soumak, looping, wrapping, Turkish knots, and many other exciting and varied applications will be explored. Depending on the material used quite different abstract effects can be developed, some of these skills relate to rug weaving and others have origins in the per-Egyptian Coptic weavings of ancient times. ​ All the materials and equipment required will be provided, however you are welcome to bring your own weaving materials.
