Combining ancestral techniques to create contemporary pieces is one of the main approaches that Portuguese textile artist Diana Cunha uses for her work. Through her brand, Oficina 166, Diana is always looking for new materials and designs to experiment with visual languages and styles for her handmade decorative pieces.

In this course, create a tapestry using a frame loom, learning the main steps and techniques for creating shapes and incorporating textures and fringes. Diana shares with you her creative process from beginning to end: the first ideas, the assembly of the loom, the execution of the piece, the final touches, and the tapestry's optimal placement in a room.

Description

Learn how to create unique tapestry pieces from the basics to completion

Start by getting to know Diana's career as a textile artist and see what her main influences are, as well as the content you will learn throughout the course.

Afterward, discover the materials and accessories that you can use to make your tapestry and learn about the different types of handlooms that exist. Following this, Diana explains the main tapestry concepts and teaches you how to thread the fabric on the loom step by step.

Learn the basic tapestry stitches: taffeta or Gobelin stitches, fringes, Soumak weave, and pick-and-pick, among others. Put them into practice, first in a showcase before moving on to the final piece.

Learn how to create geometric and organic shapes, as well as the correct way to apply the stitches learned previously.

Then, begin to build your final piece, from the assembly of the loom to the execution of the stitches, the application of textures, and the final touches. To do this, follow Diana's process and see how she combines and takes into account her references, the client's preferences, the place where the piece will be placed, and the budget in her design.

Finally, see how to take the piece out of the loom and the best way to hang it. Diana gives you some tips on taking the first steps in your career and starting your own business.
