Workshop Wol Verven (Ketting voor Weven)

When you come, the warp will be ready for you. The warp is 100% high-quality English wool with a thickness of Nm 16/2 and suitable for use in warp. The warp is 2.75m long and contains 300 threads (the recommended sett is 8 threads/cm for linen weave and 10 threads/cm for twill weave).
We prepare the dye together, you can choose from a wide range of colors. We use so-called acid dyes (suitable for dyeing wool, silk, etc.). Acid dyes are very economical, they react quickly with the fibers and are very colorfast.
Afterwards, take the chain with you, rinsed but still wet. It still needs to dry at home.

Zondagnamiddag weefworkshops

Weven is een toegankelijk en verrassend eigentijds handwerk. Je combineert kleur, structuur en materiaal tot een resultaat dat helemaal van jou is.
Maak er een creatieve zondagnamiddag van
In onze weefworkshops leer je op een eenvoudige manier de basis van het weven. We tonen je hoe het weefgetouw werkt, welke materialen je kan gebruiken en hoe je tot een mooi, strak of speels weefwerk komt. Ervaring is niet nodig — iedereen kan meteen aan de slag.
Rustig werken, mooi resultaat
Weven vraagt geen haast. Je werkt stap voor stap en ziet je creatie geleidelijk groeien. Dat maakt het niet alleen leuk om te doen, maar ook verrassend ontspannend.
Wil je eens proberen hoe het voelt om zelf te weven? Dan ben je welkom in onze studio voor een workshop die zowel leerzaam als gezellig is.

Iedereen kan leren weven.

- of experimenteren met een hevelrietgetouw of bandweefgetouw.
Samen bekijken we welke vaardigheden je wilt ontwikkelen of verfijnen, daarop bouwen we verder.
Wat kun je maken?
Tijdens de workshop kun je onder andere:
- een sjaal weven,
- een klein wandkleed maken,
- of een stuk stof creëren dat je later kunt verwerken tot iets unieks.

Alles draait om jouw creativiteit, tempo en plezier in het weven.
