Tapestry Weaving in a High-Warp Loom

Overview

“We began to design our tapestry. The main motif of this piece will be a vase with flowers in a geometric style. We will see how to build this sketch from some geometric shapes cut out of paper and combining them with each other. In this section we will also define the types of fabric and the measurements that it will have to later assemble the necessary warp.”

In this video lesson María Malatrama addresses the topic: Tapestry design, which is part of the Domestika online course: Tapestry Weaving in a High-Warp Loom. Learn how to weave a decorative tapestry from scratch by combining different types of shapes, fabrics, and textures.

Partial transcription of the video

“Tapestry design It's time to get down to business with the tapestry design. For this we will base ourselves on the concept of graphic synthesis and geometrization of objects. This technique consists of simplifying the shape of a real object and transform it into a geometric figure or a composition of several. It is about looking at that object, that real element and imagine what it would be like if it were composed of geometric shapes such as triangles, rectangles, or circles. To explain it to you better, I have brought different geometric figures already cut out. This method is very useful...”
