Wat we doen
Looking to start crafting but don’t want to do it alone? <br>
This is a group for anyone interested in arts and crafts of all kinds, who are interested in getting together to get crafting. If you have a particular skill you would like to share with a group of creative individuals (or just want to learn a new craft or DIY technique) then come join! <br>
All skill levels welcome, you only need to bring your enthusiasm and imagination — whether you want to learn, brainstorm, or just join in or share your knowledge. I am starting this group to be able to get together in a new, fun atmosphere, exchange artistic ideas, work together, explore art techniques, create DIY projects and see all types of new ideas come to life. Looking forward to meeting you!

Alles weergeven- Tapestry weavingShaggies Rugs Amsterdam, Amsterdam
Students will learn everything about weaving a wall tapestry from start to finish, and will leave the class with their very own 30x20cm wall tapestry in hand!
Students will first learn how to string a loom and the tension necessary to create a solid base for their weave. Hannah will then teach several weaving techniques, including the hemstitch, tabby weave, soumak weave, and rya knot techniques. Students will use these weaving techniques to then fill their loom with whatever design, color and texture they would like. Every weave is unique!
At the end, Hannah will teach the students how to finish their project and take it off of the loom. She will show them how to hang the weave from a wooden dowel and add the finishing touches so that the weave stays sturdy. Lots of tips and tricks will be provided throughout the class so students will leave with all the skills necessary to create many more tapestries, wall decor or any other type of weave in the future.
