Hand-Held Loom Weaving Workshop (Online) Ages 10-18 years

Hand-Held Loom Weaving Workshop, ages 10-18 years

Make • Weave • Create

Discover the fun of weaving using simple, everyday materials! In this hands-on workshop, young people will learn how to create their own hand-held looms from cardboard, sticks, and found objects, then turn them into colourful woven artworks.

Participants will explore easy weaving techniques suitable for all skill levels, including:

• Basic loom weaving
• Plaiting and braiding
• Finger knitting
• String-making and fibre play

Using yarn, recycled materials, natural fibres, fabric scraps, grasses, and other creative finds, everyone will design a unique woven piece to take home.

No experience needed. Just bring your imagination and get creative!

What to Bring

• Four sturdy sticks of a similar size (or knitting needles, rulers, tent pegs, etc.)
• One thick piece of cardboard (such as cereal or food packaging)
• Scissors
• A ball of string or wool
• A collection of fibres or interesting materials to weave with:
• yarns and ribbons
• leaves and grasses
• fabric scraps or old clothes
• recycled plastic or found objects

The more creative, the better!
