Workshop
Workshop: New Age Looping
- Event Date: Saturday, October 5, 2013
- Time: 9:00 am–4:00 pm (CDT)
- Cost: $30. Pre-Registration is required.
In looping, the entire length of the working thread is drawn through the edge of the fabric on every stitch. For thousands of years, when a thread ran out people just twisted on more. But in this class, you'll use already-spun hemp or nettle fiber and learn different ways to add on when a thread runs out. The class project is a small wearable pouch inspired by an Akha carrying bag from the Museum's collection.
