Tapestry Weaving in a High-Warp Loom

Begin the course by getting to know María, her career in the field of textile arts, some of her most representative works, and her main influences.

In the second unit, see the tools, materials, and fibers that you need and the basic concepts of thecomb loom technique. Learn what warp, weft, and weave are, and get to know the different types of textures to give character to your piece.

Once you know the basic concepts of weaving, create the design of your tapestry. By combining simple geometric shapes, make a vase with flowers, the main component in your composition.

Maria helps you choose a color palette and prepare the frame to start weaving. First, work with straight lines and then with diagonals to create the jar. Then, weave volumetric circular shapes.

In the last unit, finish your tapestry, see how to take it out of the frame, and finish off all the loose threads. Finally, Maria gives you some tips to transform your piece into other objects and shows you different techniques to find your own style within this art.
