During the workshop we look at examples from different times and different places. Then the participants learn how to card weave themselves. They also receive tips for weaving as neatly and evenly as possible.

In principle, participants do not have to bring anything, but if you have weaving cards yourself, you can of course bring them. Please indicate when registering if you can bring your own cards, so that the teacher knows how many to provide. 

This Wednesday morning workshop is given by Dorothee Olthof, an expert in the field of archaeological textiles and the reconstruction of medieval and later clothing.TRC.2020.2778TRC.2020.2778
