Introduction to handweaving
@Cobramuseum (Amstelveen)
During this weaving workshop, artist Rosa Smits teaches you the basic technique of weaving on a loom. We work with wool from Morocco and you learn how to distinguish it from other textile materials. You also learn to combine different colors and the so-called 'Berber Button' is discussed, with which weavers in Morocco have been knotting incredibly soft carpets for centuries. Weaving is a wonderful thing to do: it is very accessible, repetitive and therefore soothing. After the workshop you will have completely relaxed and you will also take your own beautiful weaving work home with you!
