Event Overview

Band weaving is a traditional technique done in Peru. Narrow ribbons are woven by way of using a back-strap loom; however only a single stick and some string is required. The warp (vertical) threads are stretched taught by tying one end to a stationary object and the other to the weaver's waist. Weft (horizontal) threads are inserted in a back-and-forth motion to create a solid ribbon or band.

This class will build on the skills of the Beginning Band-weaving class. In this session you will learn to manipulate the threads for complex patterns and even draft your own designs. Depending on the level of difficulty of your pattern, you may or may not finish the bracelet in class time. However, you will have the skills to finish it on your own.

This class is appropriate for all ages 12 and older. Remember, just because it is a technique a child can do, doesn't mean that it is't just as much fun for an adult. In Peru, young children learn band weaving and continue using the technique through adulthood :o)
