Paper weaving is a fascinating yet often overlooked form of art that dates back to ancient civilizations. This intricate technique involves weaving thin strips of paper together to create stunning patterns and designs. Despite its simplicity, paper weaving can be a challenging and rewarding process, allowing for endless possibilities and creativity. Join our fellow PAG member, Janice Low, to learn the basic skill of weaving 2 sheets of paper, each cut into strips; one set laid down vertically and the other woven horizontally. Using your imagination with your choice of papers, painted or printed with a design, magazine pages, varying widths and lengths, create realistic or abstract designs, there is no limit of creativity!
Workshop Supplies:
Jan will provide some pre-printed design papers, card stock to paint, and samples.
Please bring:
Acrylic paints in colours of your choice
Glue stick
Interesting paper you might like to incorporate (optional)
Scissors
Masking tape
Tweezers or a long fine palette knife to help with weaving
