Workshop
Join Loop of the Loom for a unique opportunity to delve into the captivating world of Yoroke-ori and dying with master weaver Yukiko Yokoyama.
Loop of the Loom will hold a workshop to learn the rare hand-weaving technique of Yoroke-ori, aka Ondure weaving, which creates enchanting curves on warp threads. They have invited Yokoyama from Japan, who possesses outstanding skills and experience among the globally rare Ondure weaving artists, to offer the participant to learn special weaving techniques using unique tools and the techniques of warp dyeing that enhance them over the course of two days.
The dyeing technique to be learned this time can be applied not only to Yoroke-ori but also to regular weaving. As the weaving workshop includes the process of setting meticulous warp threads, it is designed for intermediate to advanced-level participants.
During Yokoyama's visit to New York after 8 years, she will generously impart the masterful techniques and knowledge born from 50 years of experience to many people.
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to explore the art of yoroke-ori with Yukiko Yokoyama.
Loop of the Loom is a wonderful retreat for those seeking relaxation through textile art. It allows participants to unleash their infinite creativity using looms and various textures. Since 2005, we have offered ""Zen weaving"" a free-spirited approach to weaving with SAORI's weaving philosophy that breaks away from traditional weaving concepts.
At their two weaving dojos, they sell Japanese natural dyes, organic yarns, and SAORI looms, carefully curated with sustainability and wellness in mind and suitable for environmentally conscious crafters.
