Pasamo... with passion
At the beginning of March in Poznań I will have the pleasure of leading a workshop on weaving selvedges on a bardek. Agnieszka Jackowiak is responsible for the organization. The course is cleverly divided into a basic and advanced stage. You will be able to learn how to weave both plain and patterned selvedges, the secrets of which so many people are curious about 🙂 I refer you to the Hobby-wełna website, where you can find out more details.
Every now and then someone asks me how to weave. Sometimes it's just a little advice, sometimes someone wants to know how to start, and sometimes someone wants to know everything 🙂 You can find a lot of interesting information and videos on the Internet. However, there seems to be a lack of materials in Polish. I decided to write an instruction manual for those interested in weaving. It's done entirely my way, and since…
Today I present my most valuable weaving loom. Unfortunately, its historicity is a constant matter of dispute. Archaeological finds confirm the presence of such tools, but there is still no reliable study on their use in textiles. I suspect that there is a kind of scientific taboo in this area. Numerous, although fragmentarily preserved, relics are kept in secret warehouses and specially protected….
I once came across this interesting video – a clever weaving technique on an inkle loom that gives dizzying speed in the creation of a selvedge. I decided to try it on my workshop. A small widdle was made from a wooden pancake spatula. In the improved version, the handle is wrapped in a strap, because the edges – although not sharp – dug into my hands. The shuttle initially…
Today, during the Biskupin Festival, I finished a long-hanging fabric and my vertical looms are finally free. I also had an idea on how to simplify the creation of the warp. The edge selvedge worked well in the case of the apron, but it will not be needed in all cases. In addition, the warping and weaving of the edge selvedge with the addition of the actual fabric to the warp weft…
