About the final project for: Handloom Weaving: Create Organic Shapes

“I want to thank you for attending the course and for your interest in textile printing and manual weaving technique. Before I say goodbye, I'll talk about the final project. For your project to go well, pay attention to all classes, following the step by step of each one. To remember: Photograph details of compositions in your home or somewhere that inspires you.

Sketch smudges and colors from the chosen photo and transform them into full-scale patterns.
Calculate your warp and assemble the threads on the heald comb loom.
Weave your patches based on the shapes and colors you choose.
Once finished, remove the fragments from the loom.
Finish the patchwork.
Sew the fragments to your pillow, thus completing your project.
I suggest that you make your own design based on everything we've seen in this course, but experimenting with your own shapes, your own fragments, your color palette, and following your inspirations. Also participate in the forum, commenting on the work of colleagues and interacting with the community to answer questions and give your suggestions. Whenever possible, I will also be there to help. I hope you enjoyed the course and thank you again for your participation! Until later!”
