Dive into the world of weaving, a realm of threads, structures, and colors, and weave your own fabric for a cushion. Each participant will have a loom with pedals ready. Choose your own yarns and colors and get started. Experience the feeling of weaving on a standing loom, watching the fabric grow slowly under your hands. At the end of the workshop, you can leave the woven fabric on the loom. We will sew it into a cushion, and a few days later, you’ll receive your own fabric in the form of a cushion at home (Workshop price includes shipping costs).

 

Hand-weaving is an ancient technique for producing fabrics, but it’s also an inexhaustible game of patterns, yarns, textures, and colors. In her hand-weaving studio, Eva Klee revives this old craft in an artisanal way, creating exclusive, high-quality, custom handwoven fabrics, unique pieces, and reproductions of fabrics. The goal of each fabric design is exquisite quality with an eye for detail.

 

Eva Klee took over her mother’s Swedish loom at the age of eleven, making weaving feel like a second nature to her. In her studio, she constantly explores new fabric designs, an endless interplay of patterns, materials, and colors. Small changes in the weaving process can lead to unexpected and fascinating results. It is the process of discovery along the way and critically questioning technical perfection that fuels her ongoing research. Her work is characterized by great technical skill combined with creativity.

 

Eva Klee completed a three-year training in hand-weaving in Southern Germany. She subsequently studied Monumental Design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
