TALK/DEMO:
BACKSTRAP WEAVING
Presented by Karren Brito

FRIDAY, JANUARY 19 / 5 PM

In Oaxaca backstrap looms are visible, in the marketplace, in the villages—are they an anachronism or a vital tool in the textile arts? How do they work? How do you make one? Is the cloth made on a backstrap loom different from that made on other kinds of looms? Are there techniques and designs that can only be made on a backstrap loom? READ MORE. see OLL website

Learn about Karren in her own words... I don't remember when I started weaving, I did needle woven lace in the 60's, tapestry frame loom in the 70's and by the 80's I was buying floor looms. see OLL website
