December 8th: Fiber ArtsThursday. Dec. 8, 2022: 4PM - 6PM Located in the Mixed Media Studio
This workshop will create wall hangings in a Saori technique using fibers, wool roving, string and yarn. You will make unique abstract tapestries. SAORI is unique and totally different from other traditional styles of hand weaving. In traditional hand weaving, weavers highly value the regularity and cleanness of the woven cloth: if there is an irregular pattern or thread, it is considered as a “mistake” or “flaw”. In SAORI, on the other hand, we place more importance on free expression, because hand weaving is different from machine weaving. |
