How to weave without a loom | IN THE STUDIO TUTORIAL

Learn how to weave without a loom and design your own textiles by deconstructing woven fabrics. In this new episode of our tutorial series IN THE STUDIO, artist Liz Collins teaches you how to pull threads from woven fabric to create works inspired by Anni Albers, Agnes Martin, Alberto Burri, and other artists. Learn how to experiment with grids, stripes, fringed edges, floats, interweaving, and sewing to create a curtain like Liz does, or decide to make your own wall hanging, tablecloth, placemat, bedspread or anything else with these versatile at-home weaving techniques.

My mom used to do this and make fabulous tablecloths. As a little kid I used to watch her, but she died before I was old enough to be taught. This feels like a gift. I will now continue this craft.

Okay, now I'm starting a new hobby. I already started sashiko and embroidery this should fit right in beautifully. Super cool thank you

[@dianaahakim2001]

YES! ANOTHER IN THE STUDIO! I love this series!

[@linaochrasmus]

That looks like a lot of fun. It reminds me of the traditional norwegian hardanger embroidery.

Thank you for this tutorial on your personal approach to the ancient technique of drawn thread (300-200 BC) for decorative and functional purposes. 👍

[@dianaahakim2001]

I love this idea of reusing fabrics to give them a new life through deconstruction. Especially considering how the production of textile and fabrics impact the environment

[@barbstephenson8045]

Liz Collins, thanks so much. I appreciate how articulate you are; following your thought process gave me another dimension to play with.

[@janettrippe9406]

How amazingly cool! I was not familiar with this type of craft. Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you

[@oceanwoods]

One of the best craft tutorials ever

I love weaving, my mother let me try that as a young child. This is a kind of a new approach, the "opposite of weaving" and its reworking - it is even part of the circular economy - once created, something new is built - in the same way as the thread that is used for weaving is first spun.

[@fireflyeloise3528]

Like drawn thread embroidery

[@jsl1952]

that techinique was used centuries ago and is still used to make decorative edges on linen/cotton fabrics for clothing and bedding.

[@donnadees1971]

Hi school home etc class taught us that to find the straight of the fabric, by pulling a thread.

[@lesabri]

I love it! Thank you 😊

[@isKatKat]

How interesting.

[@mettevunsjensen4094]

Awesome😊

[@Bapalooza]

Cool stuff

[@blep8505]

Great!!!!!!!!! Thank you

[@Meridaism]

That's great

[@kiwikiwi5505]

If you made a garment after pulling out threads would the pattern stay in place with normal wear and tear? Thinking of putting a piece in the back panel of a denim jacket pattern. Love this idea. ❤❤❤
