LOOMinous

October 6 – 8, 2012

Learning Family

Ever use a loom? Here’s your chance to collaborate on a woven work of art. At the end of the day, we’ll cut it from the loom and hang it on the wall.

For this workshop, led by Toronto-based artist Amanda Rataj, a frame loom (essentially a large rectangular frame) is strung length-wise with yarn - this is called the warp. Participants pick up other yarn, threads and materials and interlace them between these threads on the loom, forming the weft. Colours and patterns can create intricate shapes, and the activity can be done for as long or as short as the participant likes. Because the frame loom can be accessed from both sides, one loom can accommodate anywhere from 4-7 participants at once.
