Card weaving is an extremely old and important band weaving technique, commonly used in Scandinavia to create beautifully patterned bands for edging textiles or using as apron strings or belts. While in the early Iron Age, card woven bands were used to create the starting and selvedge bands for warp weighted looms, today those same bands might be put to use as decorative edging on a sweater, as straps for a bag, or as a stylish lanyard for glasses or keys.
In this one-day workshop, students will choose from a variety of patterns and weave a band approximately 3/8”- 3/4″ wide and 24”-36” long. At the end of the day, students will leave with a set of cards and the skills to continue band weaving beyond class.
A $20 materials fee is due in class to the instructor. Students receive a set of cards to take home.
