In this workshop students are introduced to the basic theory of weaving, after which they will start weaving different bindings on a mannequin torso, using car safety belts and applying different weaves. The results can be captured in photos.
Programmes specially for academies and universities.
For academies and universities with a specialisation in art, design or textile, programmes lasting one or more days can be arranged on request. These programmes can, for example, include lessons in which students are taught to use a handloom, a flat-knitting machine, or mechanical or manual embroidery techniques. These programmes all focus on learning and mastering various textile production techniques and experimenting with different types of weave, knitting and embroidery stitching with contemporary and special yarns. To discuss the arrangements for these programmes, please contact us by mailing to [email protected]
The TextielMuseum offers schools the possibility of creating their own programme. Our workshops and guided tours can easily be combined together.
