'Weaving Bands with a Rigid Heddle' Workshop
7 October 2026 – 14 October 2026 · 17:00
Centre Cívic Vil·la Urània, el Putxet i el Farró, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi
In this course we will learn the fundamentals of weaving with a simple shed. We will weave using simple tools and use our own body as a tensioning support. We will enter the endless world of band weaving or, as the course title indicates, decorative bands. We will give a brief historical introduction through images and references. We will learn what warp and weft are. We will become familiar with the tools and how to use them. Above all, we will weave a band from start to finish. The finished piece can be turned, for example, into a key ring or bookmark, or sewn onto a garment so it can be hung up, among other uses. Led by Joana Garganté.
