2024-08-09 – Pick-Up Bandweaving on a Bandgrind (Online)

Schedule: 

Instructor: 

Location: 

This is an online class hosted on Zoom. 

The woven band played an important role in traditional Norwegian clothing. Bands were used to close or support clothing in ways that we now use buttons, zippers, snaps, or velcro. They also added beauty and interest to an item of clothing while identifying a person as coming from a particular area of Norway. Today, bands can be used as bookmarks, belts, lanyards, bag closures, and handles. In this class, we will focus on a pick-up technique using a bandgrind, or band heddle. Band weaving is a good introduction to weaving, and students of all skill levels are welcome.
