Weaving on a loom is an artistic as well as therapeutic activity that requires movement and balance at every stage. Textile artist and fashion designer Luiza Caldari explores the art of tapestry in order to communicate with the world by creating expressive pieces with contrast and texture.
In this course, learn to weave a decorative wall piece using a frame loom. Luiza shows you how to choose different threads and warp yarns to work layer by layer combining colors and volumes. Discover how to use a range of threads and yarns, adding fringing and other details, then share your piece with the world.
Description
Start the course by hearing a little about Luiza Caldari's journey so far, from her education in fashion design to how she began a career in tapestry and the world of all things artisan. She also talks about her influences and shares her most defining tapestry projects.
Next, take a look at the materials you need and dive right in collecting reference materials for a colorful mood board. Using this for inspiration, define your vision for your piece and do a preliminary sketch.
Now it's time to get weaving! Luiza shows you how to set up your loom, stretching the yarn correctly before getting started. Then learn how to work layer by layer adding fringing and volume for a gradient effect.
As you weave towards the end of the course, see how to put the finishing touches on your tapestry, shape the volumes, and remove your piece from the loom. Luiza also gives you some final tips on packaging if you decide to sell your work.
