About the final project for: Rope Weaving Techniques for Colorful Chairs

Rope Weaving Techniques for Colorful Chairs

“During the lessons I taught you to weave a seat with colored ropes, now it's your turn! Follow these basic steps to get the job done. Don't just copy my example, but experiment and invent something new. In this way, you will learn to independently apply the techniques I taught you and you will give more space to creativity. Choose the structure When starting your project, first identify the structure you want to revisit.

Define the type of weave and the material Starting from the structure, then choose the suitable material and the type of weave. I recommend that you practice on the loom first, because in this way you will be able to practice some of my teachings and experiment freely.
Create or choose the scheme When you feel like starting to weave on the ultimate structure, start by choosing the pattern. In order of complexity, you can choose a single-color or two-color one on the internet, design your own or reproduce mine in three colors by customizing them.

Now share your project in the forum! Show everyone both the final result and the processing steps, documenting each step with an image and describing what you did with a brief explanation. As soon as possible, I will be happy to comment on your work. Watch colleagues' projects and encourage them by commenting on what they have shared: don't miss the precious opportunity to interact with the creative community. Thanks again for making this journey with me! ”

Clara Arpini is a designer and artisan originally from a small town near Milan. Raised in a creative family, Clara worked for many years in the restaurant business, until she accidentally discovered her passion for the world of straw-weaving and weaving while observing an old grandmother's sitting.

Since then he began to train and follow courses, also participating in craft markets around Italy. Thus he began to receive commissions from private individuals and to collaborate with designers, architects, fairs and events. Today it has its own brand, Nodo, which provides modern or traditional straw-making services and which also offers furnishing accessories.
