Introduction to Weaving
Join Greensboro artist Donna Wojek Gibbs for an introduction to basic weaving techniques as part of the programming for the exhibition RugLife.
Weaving is a craft that involves interlacing two sets of threads to form fabrics, tapestries, rugs, and more. Archaeological evidence suggests that weaving has been universally known to all major human civilizations, though materials and techniques vary across time periods, cultures, and geographic areas. Despite these differences, the fundamental process of weaving continues to be practiced today as both an art form and a commercial industry. Many of the artworks featured in RugLife are handwoven. Come learn more by giving it a try yourself!
