Workshop
In this relaxed and exploratory workshop, participants will be encouraged to try a range of loom types to find what works for them, as well as discover customizations to make weaving easier for their unique wants, needs, and difficulties. From frame loom to rigid heddle to backstrap, and from DIY to professional looms, participants will get to explore what mode of weaving works best for them. A range of materials will be available, from yarn to recycled materials to natural materials, and everyone is allowed to find their unique way of creating.
The mission of Intertwine Arts is to inspire creativity, joy, and self-confidence through free-form weaving for people of all ages with disabilities or chronic illness. We envision creating and promoting inclusive communities of weavers by partnering with organizations that provide programs and services to people with intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities or chronic illness together with their families and caregivers. Intertwine aims to promote accessibility in the arts, as well as champion the legitimacy of disabled weavers in the art world. We also believe everyone should be able to experience the therapeutic benefits of weaving.
