Duration: 3 hours on a ready-to-use hand-operated loom to weave the front side of a 30 x 50 cm cushion
Course outline: You will weave on a hand-operated loom on which a black or white warp has already been set up (the threads stretched across the loom will already be in place), and you will choose the weft threads to use for weaving. You will learn the basic techniques of weaving – that is, the actual act of weaving – and experiment with different weaves (weaving patterns).
Colors and materials:
Front side of the cushion, woven during the course: black or white cotton-linen warp. Weft: cotton, linen, wool or mohair wool, depending on your choice during the workshop
Back side of the cushion: ready-made organic cotton fabric, black or white (to match the front)
I will make your cushion myself in the weeks following the workshop and post it to you.
Rate: CHF 160.-* (materials included) + postage.
*Do you know how to sew and would like to make your own cushion at home? The workshop fee is CHF 120.- if you’re just taking your woven fabric home, or CHF 140.- for your woven fabric and sewing supplies (filling cushion, zip and fabric for the back).
Payment in cash or via Twint on the spot (bank transfer is possible when purchasing a gift voucher or in the case of advance payment).
