Tools of Craft: #CircularWeaving

By #OttawaToolLibrary

Ottawa Tool Library, #Ottawa, ON
Monday, May 25 • 2 PM - 4 PM

"Slow down, unwind, and learn the mindful craft of circular weaving. You can take this hobby with you to the deck and the dock this summer!

In this 2 hour beginner weaving workshop, you will learn how to incorporate yarn and textiles in a circular weaving. Carmen will provide all the supplies, you just have to show up! No previous weaving experience is required.

Instead of hand or power tools, you’ll be working with weaving tools — simple, tactile instruments that invite you to slow down and connect with the rhythm of making by hand. You’ll learn a series of fun, approachable techniques to create your own unique woven artwork.

The practice and pleasure of circular weaving is one that invites a calm state of mind. This workshop focuses on the positive mental health benefits of making things by hand and will give people the skills and interest to take this fun project home with them and hopefully keep working on other weaving projects in the months to come."

Open today "Overlooked Ouseburn - Beauty in the Mundane" an exhibition by Christine White of work-in-progress textile art based in and around the Lower Ouseburn Valley. Christine's aim is to try to capture the interaction of the old with the rewilding of the space, to appreciate the beauty in decay and change, through exploring the relationship between the environment and the traces left using found items.

I confess that when I visit our local small-town casino (mostly for food and late-night/bad weather steps, we're cheap and only occasional gamblers), I often pocket a handful of these coffee stirrers from the self-service drink station, and take them to my shop. They're handy for spreading adhesives and such, and can be used in model building, depending on the scale and use. Free materials/tools always a winner!
