Weaving Workshop by John Brooks at FELTspace

This event is free, and all materials will be provided. However, you’re more than welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Weaving is a process that can be a simple or complex - passing threads over and under each other to form a fabric. Once the basic principle is understood, complexity can be explored through the size and structure of a textile, or even the tools and equipment used to create it. This is how weaving and other textile processes have informed technology through invention and innovation. The weaving loom was the invention that began the process of invention that lead to the computer, and therefore the smart phone.

Participants will use their phones as a makeshift weaving loom to create tiny pieces of woven fabric using textile waste. This process connects our smartphones with their technological predecessor, returning the smartphone back to its original function as a piece of equipment used for creating cloth.
