ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
In this intensive workshop, participants will dive into the world of double weave — a technique that allows you to create two layers of cloth, either connected or completely independent.
This versatile structure opens the door to endless possibilities: reversible fabrics, pockets, tubes,
interchangeable color blocks, layering effects, and more.
Each participant will dress the loom and be guided in weaving a personalized project such as a placemat, coaster, table napkin, or decorative piece.
