My favorite subject this semester has been the ✨textile art workshop✨. In this workshop we have learnt the different ways of weaving on a loom, presenting 7 compulsory samples and 2 optional samples. The teachers taught us about the culture of weaving on frame and loom, how we can focus on weaving and how our feelings at the moment we weave affect our weaving.
Now, they are teaching us how to transfer an image to the loom, we have to make a self-portrait, edit a photograph, and weave it.
I like this subject because one can lose oneself in knitting, one can let off steam or release and at the same time identify more easily the feelings we have when they are expressed in the sample. You can tell when you are angry or raging when the knitting is tightened, or when you are discouraged you can see it on the edges of the swatch when it is uneven. I like it so much💖 and I hope to choose this workshop as my speciality.
