This August as Buwan ng Wika, introduce yourself to the diverse language of Philippine textile through block weaving and join us on Aug 16 as we launch four (4) beginner-friendly patterns with MAKIHABI Block Weaving at Common Room Mess Studio at The Atrium of Makati!
Block Weaving is a project-based workshop that introduces the use of a felt board as our loom. This makes it easier to follow patterns with techniques, so you can focus more on creating!
The workshop will feature four (4) traditional weaving patterns from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao: Kantarines, Kusikos, Hablon, and Langkit. The class will start with a basic introduction to weaving and to reading and weaving graph patterns. I'll also demonstrate the traditional weaving techniques using a small table loom.
By the end of our session, you'll finish a handwoven coaster with your chosen pattern, and gain new knowledge about weaving! Kids are welcome to join, beginner and intermediate weavers will have fun learning new techniques.
